Paramedical Staff: Recruitment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help ensure newly qualified paramedics can access appropriate NHS job opportunities.
- Answer
-
Decisions on the employment of newly qualified paramedics are a matter for individual National Health Service trusts which manage their recruitment at a local level, ensuring they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care.
As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we are working closely with NHS England, employers, and educators to improve transition into the workforce.
