Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of trends in frontline London Ambulance Service staff turnover figures in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.
This is a matter for London Ambulance Service (LAS) NHS Trust. The NHS Trust Development Authority (NTDA) advises that LAS has seen increases in demand and that this has had some impact on staff retention. However, to address this issue of recruitment and retention the Trust is already taking forward a number of measures.
