Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to publish a long-term health and care workforce strategy later this year.
The Department commissioned NHS England and NHS Improvement to develop a long-term workforce plan. The plan will supplement the NHS People Plan and the Elective Recovery Plan and align with Health Education England’s forthcoming ‘Framework-15’. We intend to engage with a range of stakeholders to develop this plan and the outcomes will be made available in due course.
