The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the needs of the palliative and end of life care sector will be represented in the upcoming NHS workforce plan.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The refreshed Long Term Workforce Plan will deliver the transformed health service that we will build over the next decade and will ensure that patients get the treatment they need, when and where they need it, including those at the end of their lives. In the development of the plan, we will engage with a range of stakeholders to ensure their needs are considered.
