Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to expand the orthopaedic workforce.
This question was answered on 25th April 2023
Growing and supporting the workforce is a priority for this Government. To that end, we have commissioned NHS England to develop a Long Term Workforce Plan. This will include projections for the numbers of doctors, nurses and other key professionals required over the next five, 10 and 15 years.
The plan will cover all of the National Health Service workforce, including those working on orthopaedic services.
