We have committed to develop a 10-Year Health Plan to deliver a National Health Service fit for the future. The plan, and the refreshed Long Term Workforce Plan that follows it, will ensure that we have the right number of staff, with the right skill mix so that patients, including those with rare diseases like myasthenia gravis, can be promptly diagnosed and treated.
