Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many new roles are to be created at his Department through the DH2020 programme.
The launch of the new Departmental structure, as part of the DH 2020 Programme, is focused on how the Department is going to operate in the future to deliver on its priorities. As a result, all roles in the structure are classified as new to ensure that the structure is aligned to Departmental priorities. The new structure will mean that the Department has the right skills across the organisation to deliver its agenda and can operate in a more agile way.
