NHS Trusts: Labour Turnover
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure consistent application of retention policies across NHS trusts.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government is committed to making the National Health Service the best place to work, to ensure the retention of our hardworking and dedicated staff. NHS England is leading the National Retention Programme to drive a consistent, system-wide approach to staff retention across NHS trusts.
Retention efforts are aligned with the NHS People Promise, which was co-developed with staff to reflect what matters to them. This ensures that trusts have access to proven retention strategies, data-driven monitoring, and can foster a more stable, engaged, productive, and supported workforce.
