Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to develop a workforce strategy to provide support for diabetes patients.

The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to create a National Health Service workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan.

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. We are working through how the plan will articulate the changes for different service areas and professional groups, such as those that support diabetes patients.
