The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will publish detailed independent workforce modelling ahead of publication of the 10 Year Workforce Plan.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Government is committed to updating workforce modelling which will be set out in and alongside the 10 Year Workforce Plan when it is published in spring 2026. As we develop the modelling for the 10 Year Workforce Plan, it will be supported by external independent scrutiny.
