Mental Health Services: Labour Turnover
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve recruitment and retention in the mental health workforce.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
As part of our mission to build a National Health Service that is fit for the future and is there when people need it, we are over halfway towards our target to recruit an extra 8,500 mental health staff. NHS England is also working to improve retention within the mental health workforce through clearer career progression pathways.
