I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 7 May 2019 to Question 249197.

Whilst there are no plans for a specific ‘paediatric Workforce Implementation Plan’, the NHS People Plan will include those working with children and young people. A final Plan will be published following the 2019 Spending Review.
