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 long-term workforce plan.

The Government will publish the 10 Year Workforce Plan in spring 2026.

This plan will set out action to create a workforce able to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan. It is important we do this in a robust and joined up way. We are therefore engaging extensively with partners to ensure this plan delivers for staff and patients.
