General Practitioners: Retirement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the merits of (a) incentivising GPs nearing retirement to remain in the profession and (b) incentivising retired GPs to return to practice.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
We will publish a 10 Year Workforce Plan to create a workforce ready to deliver a transformed service. They will be more empowered, more flexible and more fulfilled.
The 10 Year Workforce Plan will ensure the National Health Service has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to deliver the best care for patients, when they need it.
From now on, we will ensure that staff will be better treated, have better training, more fulfilling roles, and hope for the future, so they can achieve more.
