<p>The interim People Plan published on 3 June 2019 puts the workforce at the heart
of the National Health Service and will ensure we have the staff needed to deliver
high quality care. A final People Plan will be published when there is further clarity
on NHS education and training budgets.</p><p>The Cancer Workforce Plan for England,
published in December 2017 by Health Education England (HEE), set out plans to expand
capacity and skills in the cancer workforce, including targeting additional training
support for seven priority professions such as clinical radiology, histopathology,
oncology and diagnostic and therapeutic radiography. Since 2017 there has been a net
increase of 833 full time equivalent staff across the seven priority professions.</p><p>HEE
will now work with NHS England and NHS Improvement to understand the longer-term workforce
implications of further development of cancer services. This work will inform the
final People Plan.</p>
