Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the NHS People Plan.

We are the NHS: People Plan 2020/21, published on 30 July, sets out actions to support transformation across the whole NHS. It builds on the creativity and drive shown by the NHS workforce in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and seeks to embed those innovations. It focusses on ensuring staff have the mental and physical wellbeing support they need.

Further action for 2021/22 and beyond is expected to be set out later in the year, once funding arrangements for future years have been confirmed.
