Planned evaluation of the reforms will aim to measure the impact on intention to leave, and actual turnover, along with other outcomes.</p><p>We anticipate benefits from the workforce reform programme will include a reduction in staff turnover, improved quality of care from a better trained and more stable workforce, increased workforce productivity, and an increase in efficiency savings for social care providers as they reduce the amount of retraining and recruitment needed. These all contribute to our wider goals of improvements in the quality-of-care provision and improved access to care.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 15/04/2024 08:28:23 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
