The plan focuses on both new staff and on improved retention of existing staff, as well as new roles and new models of mental health care. The plan can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.hee.nhs.uk/sites/default/files/documents/CCS0717505185-1_FYFV%20Mental%20health%20workforce%20plan%20for%20England_v5%283%29.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.hee.nhs.uk/sites/default/files/documents/CCS0717505185-1_FYFV%20Mental%20health%20workforce%20plan%20for%20England_v5%283%29.pdf</a></p><p>Implementation of the plan is being led by HEE and NHS England working through HEE Regional Leads and the NHS England Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) who will need to demonstrate how the workforce plan is being taken into account by STPs as part of their future planning. This will include plans for expanding the mental health workforce in both primary and secondary care settings.</p><p> </p><p>Staffing and service provision in the NHS in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is a matter for each of the devolved administrations.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 30/11/2017 16:06:53 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
