The final NHS People Plan will build on the ambitions in the interim NHS People Plan by setting out a workforce strategy for the National Health Service that will enable the service to deliver the NHS Long Term Plan across all clinical areas, including vascular, by addressing the challenges that staff currently face.<\/p>
In developing the People Plan, the NHS has worked with a range of partner organisations to put people issues at the heart of service transformation and support creative new approaches to service and workforce design that will allow us to use our existing resources better and deliver better care for patients.<\/p>
The NHS People Plan will help improve leadership culture with a focus on education and training, including introducing new routes into the NHS and improving workforce planning and supporting interventions that will release staff time for care. This will include, for example, encouraging advanced practice in radiology departments which play an important role in delivering high quality vascular services.<\/p>
It is expected that the final NHS People Plan will be published in early 2020.<\/p>

The NHS People Plan will set the national strategic direction for how the National Health Service workforce will be staffed to deliver the NHS Long Term Plan commitments in the short and longer term.<\/p>
NHS England and NHS Improvement are working with Regional teams and alongside the \u2018Getting It Right First Time\u2019 programmes to jointly improve vascular services, including the workforce challenges.<\/p>
Local NHS organisations, such as Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, will be expected to continue to plan and cost their own workforce based on local population needs.<\/p>
It is expected that the full NHS People Plan will be published in early 2020.<\/p>

Telford and Wrekin Council is an active member of the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Sustainability and Transformation Partnership. It has been fully involved in and scrutinised the Future Fit process and provided formal feedback to the public consultation undertaken by the NHS Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Telford and Wrekin CCG. The outcome of the consultation was a decision to designate the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital as an emergency care site and the Princess Royal Hospital a Planned Care site, with a 24-hour Urgent Care Centre at both hospitals.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Council referred the Future Fit plans to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, who requested advice from the Independent Reconfiguration Panel. On 2 October 2019 the Secretary of State communicated his decision to locate the Emergency Care Centre for the region at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital whilst keeping the accident and emergency (A&E) at the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) open as an A&E Local. He asked NHS England to work with the CCGs and Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust to develop the A&E local model and to set out details on how the model could be delivered at PRH. The Secretary of State received these details from NHS England on 5 November 2019 and requested further work, including the implementation of the A&E local model, on 6 January 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
Clinicians have been involved in the Future Fit process from the outset and are fully supported in bringing about the necessary changes to local hospital services in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.<\/p>
<\/p>
The consultation into the future of the hospitals in Shrewsbury, Telford and Wrekin has taken some time to conclude. This has been partly due to the robust nature of the assurance process and ensuring the views of the public and other stakeholders have been taken into account. CCGs have invested much time into this process to ensure that the right model was consulted on and people could have their say and their views considered. The process has also necessitated a revised business case to be submitted to NHS England and NHS Improvement.<\/p>
<\/p>
The cost of the consultation process is in line with other similar consultations of this scale.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ministers are not in a position to comment on the length of time taken by opponents of the Future Fit process for seeking legal advice on whether to proceed towards a judicial review.<\/p>

My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care referred the Future Fit scheme to the Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) for their expert advice on this matter. The IRP provided a full assessment of the Future Fit scheme, which took into account concerns about patient safety, and recommended that the new model of hospital care be implemented without delay.<\/p>
On 2 October 2019, in line with the IRP\u2019s recommendations, the Secretary of State decided that the emergency care centre should be located at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital whilst enabling as much clinically appropriate care as possible at the Princess Royal Hospital. He asked NHS England and NHS Improvement to work with the clinical commissioning groups and Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust to develop the accident and emergency local model.<\/p>

Healthcare providers are responsible for ensuring that they have the right level of staffing to provide high quality care. Health Education England (HEE) will work through its Local Education and Training Boards and others to ensure that there are sufficient nurses and other staff being trained to meet the needs of patients. The interim NHS People Plan, published on 3 June 2019, puts the workforce at the heart of the National Health Service and will ensure we have the staff needed to deliver high quality care. HEE will work with NHS England and NHS Improvement to understand the longer-term workforce implications of the NHS Long Term Plan. This will inform the final NHS People Plan, to be published in early 2020.<\/p>
