Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what forecasts they have made of the number of additional (1) GPs, (2) nurses, (3) hospital consultants, and (4) radiographers, they will need by 2030, compared with the numbers currently available, according to the latest available data.

To support the overall health workforce, the Department has commissioned NHS England to develop a long-term plan for the National Health Service workforce for the next 15 years.

The Government has committed to publishing the high-level workforce plan this year, including independently verified projections for the number of doctors, nurses and other professionals that will be needed in five, 10 and 15 years’ time.
