Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will publish a workforce strategy for the community diagnostic centre programme.

NHS England is working on a plan to ensure sufficient workforce capacity, including for community diagnostic centres, to enable workforce expansion with the right skills and roles, in the right locations and at the right time. In 2022/23, this resulted in over 4,300 new starters across the training pipeline for diagnostics and cancer.
