Eating Disorders: Mental Health Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the Government is taking to improve the retention rate of (a) psychiatrists, (b) nurses and (c) psychologists in NHS eating disorder services.
- Answer
-
The NHS People Plan delivery programme is helping National Health Service employers to value and retain their staff, including psychiatrists, nurses and psychologists working in eating disorder services, by making their organisations a better place to work and being a modern and model employer.
Priorities include investing in staff health and wellbeing, tackling workplace discrimination and promoting a more compassionate and inclusive workplace culture. This is aligned with work to increase the NHS workforce, reduce vacancies and release the pressure on existing staff. We are on track to recruit 50,000 more nurses and have record numbers of people currently in training to become doctors and nurses.
