Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to hold a separate consultation on the NHS workforce plan in addition to the consultation on the 10-Year Health Plan.

The refreshed Long Term Workforce Plan will deliver the transformed health service we will build over the next decade, and will ensure that patients get the treatment they need, when and where they need it.

In the development of the plan, we will engage with a range of stakeholders to ensure the needs of staff and patients are considered.
