Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has considered the potential merits of reviewing the training framework for NHS administrative staff.

The Department is not currently planning a review of the training framework for National Health Service administrative staff. In most cases, training arrangements for these staff, particularly non-clinical training, are determined by local NHS employers, which are responsible for ensuring staff are appropriately supported and developed for their roles, and may vary between organisations.
