answer text <p>The General Practitioner (GP) Forward View, published in 2016, set out plans to recruit an additional 1,500 clinical pharmacists into general practice by 2020/21.</p><p> </p><p>Following a recent consultation, several changes have been made to the data processing and methodology for general practice workforce data back to September 2015. Figures produced under the old and new methodologies are not comparable and revised figures have so far been published for December 2017, September 2018 and December 2018 only. The remainder of the September 2015 to December 2018 data is planned for publication on 25 April 2019 and cannot be disseminated before this date. The number of pharmacists working in general practice in March 2019 will be published in May 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The recently published five-year general practitioner (General Medical Services) contract included funding for the new Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme, in Primary Care Networks (PCNs). PCNs will be guaranteed funding for up to an estimated 20,000 additional staff by 2023/24. This funds new roles for which there is both credible supply and demand. The scheme will meet a recurrent 70% of the costs of additional clinical pharmacists, physician associates, first contact physiotherapists, and first contact community paramedics; and 100% of the costs of additional social prescribing link workers. The scope of the scheme will extend gradually, reflecting available supply and funding. Funding will be available from July 2019 for clinical pharmacists through the scheme</p>

answer text <p>No figures are available specifically for biomedical scientists within screening laboratories, however, the available figures state that there were 1,505 leavers from the selected Healthcare Scientist Care Setting group in National Health Service trusts and clinical commissioning groups over the period 30 September 2017 to 30 September 2018. This staff group includes healthcare scientists within a care setting of blood sciences, cellular sciences, genetics and infection sciences.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan sets out specific workforce actions developed by NHS Improvement and others to have positive impact for workforces, including the screening and diagnostic workforce. NHS Improvement and the Department will discuss these actions when the education and training budget for Health Education England is set in 2019. This includes a proposal to recruit an additional 1,500 clinical and diagnostic staff across seven priority specialisms between 2018 and 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Professor Sir Mike Richards is leading a major review of national cancer screening programme pathways as part of the NHS Long Term Plan’s renewed drive to improve care and save lives. Professor Richards’ review is due later this year.</p><p> </p><p>Specifically, in relation to cervical cancer screening, to maintain the service and accommodate current staffing levels, a majority of existing pilot sites carrying out the new human papilloma virus (HPV) testing and some non-pilot sites have already converted more of their cervical screening activity to HPV primary screening, freeing up cytology capacity.</p>

answer text <p>Prior to the agreement on the optimum number of centralised laboratories to deliver the new human papilloma virus (HPV) primary screening to replace cytology, consideration was given to how this would impact on the existing workforce. A survey of the existing workforce was undertaken by the British Association of Cytopathologists in 2017 and the outcomes of this arising was included amongst further consideration when confirming the maximum number of laboratories required to deliver the service across the country.</p><p> </p><p>The planned introduction of HPV primary screening and reconfiguration of laboratories has impacted on cytology workforce retention and recruitment rates, which led to an increase in the waiting time for cervical screening results in 2016-17 and 2017-18.</p><p> </p><p>Unpublished management data has also shown an improvement in turnaround times in the last quarter of 2018/19. As HPV testing takes over from cytology testing during 2019, it is expected that waiting times will reduce significantly.</p><p> </p><p>Nevertheless, the 14-day turnaround time for test results to be provided remains a vital target for the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.</p><p> </p><p>The roll-out of HPV primary screening into the NHS Cervical Cancer Screening Programme in England is due to be rolled out in December 2019. This could prevent around 600 cancers a year.</p>
