Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the amount of (a) civil service time and (b) resources used for the development of the NHS People's Plan.

We have not assessed how much civil service time or resources have been used in the development of the NHS People Plan.

The final NHS People Plan is the long-term workforce strategy for the National Health Service and will be crucial to the success of several Government commitments. It will set out a clear framework for collective action on workforce priorities, with a focus on growing and retaining a well-skilled workforce across the whole NHS.
