Baroness Dido Harding, Chair of NHS Improvement, working closely with Sir David Behan, Chair of Health Education England, will lead a number of programmes to develop a detailed workforce implementation plan. Baroness Harding and Sir David will present these initial recommendations to the Department this spring.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 09/05/2019 16:10:12 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
