That is why the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan sets commitments to grow the community workforce, with increases in training places for district nurses and allied health professionals, and a renewed focus on retaining existing staff.</p><p>North Central London Integrated Care Board (ICB) and local authority partners are working collaboratively to improve support available to children and young people in North Enfield. In 2021, the local National Health Service carried out a detailed review of NHS community and mental health services for adults and children across North Central London to look at what services were being provided in each of the boroughs and whether they met the health needs of residents. As a result of these service reviews, the ICB has increased investment in children’s services over multiple years and is further boosting funding available to Enfield’s community children’s services in 2023/24. The ICB focus now is on the delivery and implementation of the core offer, ensuring that any additional investment is targeted where need is greatest.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 11/09/2023 16:59:09 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
