unstar this property answer text <p>This Government is committed to growing the National Health Service workforce. We have record numbers of staff working in the NHS, including almost 4,700 more doctors and over 10,500 more nurses since last year. We are on track to meet the 50,000 nurses manifesto commitment and we have also funded 1,500 more medical school places each year to strengthen our workforce.</p><p>We also recognise the importance of retaining our experienced workforce. The NHS Retention Programme is helping to retain our experienced workforce through targeted interventions to support staff to stay, whilst keeping them well. The long term workforce plan currently being developed by NHS England will help ensure we have the right staff numbers with the right skills to deliver high quality services in the future.</p><p>A flexible workforce is important for running the NHS, to meet short term demand increases. This is done through staff banks and external agencies. Our policy is to reduce the use of agency spend and prioritise staff banks. Since 2015, we have controlled agency spend through price caps and procurement frameworks and have reduced agency spend by a third from £3.6 billion in 2015/16 to £2.4 billion in 2020/21</p><p>Alongside agency specific measures, the Government has worked with NHS trusts to develop their staff banks, including collaborative banks, which create a larger pool of flexible staff.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>The VAT reduced rate for the hospitality sector was a temporary measure designed to support the cash flow and viability of sectors that have been severely affected by COVID-19. It was appropriate that as restrictions were lifted and demand for goods and services in these sectors increased, the temporary tax reliefs were first reduced and then removed in order to rebuild and strengthen the public finances.</p><p> </p><p>According to OBR forecasts, VAT will have raised approximately £157 billion in 2022/23, helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS and policing.

Water companies are investing £3.1 billion to improve storm overflows between 2020 and 2025, and we continue to work with them to accelerate progress wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>The targets in the storm overflows discharge reduction plan are ambitious, and time bound, allowing for the water industry to deliver traditional solutions and bring forward innovative nature-based solutions where appropriate. We want the best solutions with the most benefits to our environment, communities and climate to be taken forward, and these will require careful planning by the industry: HM Government must consider the capacity of the supply chains to deliver in line with our targets and timelines, and the disruption that constructing new infrastructure brings to society as well as our environmental ambitions.</p><p> </p><p>HM Government is committing to review the targets in the plan in 2027. This will occur ahead of the 2029-2034 water company planning cycle (PR29) once new information, including from companies’ business plans, is available. This will allow us to establish if companies can go further and faster to achieve the storm overflow targets in this Plan without having a disproportionate impact on consumers bills. This will also feed into broader reporting mechanisms under the Environment Act 2021, such as through the Environmental Improvement Plan, to monitor and assess how this and other actions are contributing to the broader recovery of river and water habitats.</p>
