NHS: Redundancy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that rural and coastal health economies, including Torbay and South Devon, are not disproportionately affected by NHS workforce reductions and restructuring.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Decisions about recruitment are a matter for individual National Health Service employers, who manage this at a local level to ensure they have the staff they need to deliver safe and effective care.
The 10 Year Workforce Plan will ensure the NHS has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to care for patients, when they need it.
