Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made and estimate of the total cost of providing personalised coaching to each member of NHS staff.

No estimate has been made. As set out in our 10-Year Health Plan published on 3 July, we will introduce new ‘skills escalators’ for staff. These will give staff a trajectory for clear career progression, with increasing autonomy.

By 2035, every single member of National Health Service staff will have their own personalised career coaching and development plan, to help them acquire new skills and practice at the top of their professional capability.

Further details on this will be set out in our 10 Year Workforce Plan later this year.
