Physiotherapy: Employment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to support physiotherapists that qualified last year into employment.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Decisions on the employment of newly qualified physiotherapists are a matter for individual National Health Service trusts which manage their recruitment at a local level, ensuring they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care.
As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we are working closely with NHS England, employers, and educators to improve the transition into the workforce.
