Midwives
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the international labour supply of midwives on the (a) training and (b) employment of British midwives.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government is committed to developing homegrown talent and giving opportunities to more people across the country to join our NHS. Later this year, we will publish a 10 Year Workforce Plan which will outline strategies for improving retention, productivity, training, and reducing attrition—enhancing conditions for all staff, while gradually reducing reliance on international recruitment, without diminishing the value of their contributions.
