<p>The mental health and wellbeing of the National Health Service workforce is of
paramount importance. My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social
Care and the Chief Executive of the NHS understand and sympathise with the concerns
raised last month, in relation to the future of the NHS Practitioner Health service.
They took swift action to ensure that it will continue to provide a full service to
doctors and senior managers during 2023/24, whilst a review is carried out. This was
confirmed by NHS England on 15 April 2024.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is reviewing
the service as part of a wider review of its mental health and wellbeing offer to
staff. They are working collaboratively with regions and integrated care systems to
agree the best approach to providing mental health support for staff, including outreach
for the workforce. They will confirm future arrangements once this review has been
completed.</p>
