Allied Health Professions: Labour Turnover
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of NHS retention of (a) podiatrists and (b) other specialised healthcare professionals.
- Answer
-
As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, the Government is committed to making the National Health Service the best place to work, by supporting and retaining our hardworking and dedicated healthcare professionals.
Podiatrists are part of the Allied Health Professional (AHP) workforce and are employed across a range of setting and bodies, not always NHS provider trusts. Data is routinely published by NHS England to show the number of AHP staff, but information on retention rates of staff is not available at this level of granularity.
