The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of workforce capacity in women’s health services serving the Buckingham and Bletchley constituency.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England publishes monthly information on the composition of the workforce employed by National Health Service trusts and integrated care boards in England. This includes information on the workforce employed by individual bodies and for high-level staffing groups. The information can be found at the following link:

No specific central assessment has been made of the workforce capacity of women’s health services in the region, with decisions on the provision of local services being managed by individual NHS service provider and commissioners.
