NHS: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of staff perceptions of staffing levels and their ability to deliver safe patient care in the NHS.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Department assesses the state and sentiment of the National Health Service workforce through the annual NHS Staff Survey.

Employers are best placed to determine their workforce needs based on local needs. In addition, the 10 Year Workforce Plan will set out how national supply will be achieved and will be making sure that staff are better treated, have more fulfilling roles, and hope for the future.
