Decisions on local recruitment and employment are a matter for individual National Health Service trusts, to ensure they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care. Our upcoming 10 Year Workforce Plan will set out the action we will take at national level to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan.
