NHS: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase levels of retention in the NHS workforce.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Every day, millions of NHS staff go the extra mile to make a broken system work as well as it can for their patients.
As we develop our ten-year plan for the NHS - and the Long Term Workforce Plan that will support it – a critical concern will be ensuring we have the modern, positive, and supportive working environment needed to retain them, motivate them and enable them to provide the high quality care they want to give to patients.
