The recommendations in this paper build on engagement with stakeholders representing different parts of the health and care system, with more than 100 organisations engaged on the White Paper’s themes to date. This includes engagement with the Social Partnership Forum, of which several members of the Allied Health Professions Federation are also members. Officials will continue to have discussions with stakeholders accordingly.
