NHS: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure the NHS is sufficiently staffed over summer holiday periods.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Individual NHS Trusts and other providers are responsible for ensuring that there are sufficient staff to provide safe care.
Trusts already have a duty to regularly review the number of staff and range of skills needed to safely meet the needs of people using their services.
