Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the interim recommendations of Baroness Dido Harding's Workforce Implementation Plan will be published.

Following the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan in January this year, the National Health Service has been working with a broad range of experts to lead the development of a new People Plan. The aim of the plan is to provide clarity and detail to the 10-year workforce vision set out in the Long Term Plan, including making sure the NHS has the staff it needs.

The plan’s initial recommendations will be presented to the Department this spring, with the final People Plan currently scheduled for publication following the Spending Review.
