NHS: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the revised NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.
Answered by Karin Smyth
We will publish our 10 Year Workforce Plan by the end of this year. The approach set out in our 10-Year Health plan means we will need a very different kind of workforce strategy. Instead of asking ‘how many staff do we need to maintain our current care model over the next 10 years?’, our new 10 Year Workforce Plan will ask ‘given our reform plan, what workforce do we need, what should they do, where should they be deployed, and what skills should they have?’
