The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, published on 30 June 2023, sets out the steps the NHS and its partners need to take to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. It will put the workforce on a sustainable footing for the long term.<\/p>

The Plan sets out significant expansion of domestic education, training and recruitment. This will include more doctors and nurses alongside an expansion in a range of other professions, including more staff working in new roles.<\/p>

Training will need to be reformed to support the education expansion set out in the Plan and ensure that we train the healthcare professionals of the future. Actions include improving productivity by working and training in different ways, building broader teams with flexible skills, changing education and training to deliver more staff in roles and services where they are needed most, and ensuring staff have the right skills to take advantage of new technology that frees up clinicians\u2019 time to care, increases flexibility in deployment, and provides the care patients need more effectively and efficiently.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4423", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Will Quince"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Will Quince"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-07T13:50:24.267Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: Training"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan will require the creation of the new training course for NHS staff.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "192370"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650031", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650031/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Widening access to NHS careers remains a key priority for Government. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, published on 30 June 2023 sets out an ongoing ambition to work to widen participation in education and training, so the NHS workforce is representative of the communities we serve, and students gain the skills, knowledge and experience they need to deliver high quality care to a hugely diverse population.<\/p>

The NHS Learning Support Fund provides eligible nursing, midwifery and allied health professions students with a non-repayable training grant of a minimum of £5,000 per academic year. Further funding is available depending on personal circumstances, including a non-repayable grant of £2,000 per academic year for students with one or more child dependents.<\/p>

The NHS Bursary provides payment for tuition fees for students on medical and dental courses from year five of an undergraduate course, and from year two of a graduate-entry course. The NHS Bursary also provide students, where eligible, with a dependants\u2019 allowance, parent learning allowance and childcare allowance.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4423", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Will Quince"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Will Quince"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-07T13:45:10.327Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: Training"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of widening access to NHS careers by providing (a) support for mature students and (b) childcare and grants to assist with staff training.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "192371"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650033", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650033/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We recognise the importance of ensuring high-quality, affordable accommodation is available to National Health Service staff. We are working closely with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to explore how we can best support NHS trusts to deliver key worker accommodation where it is needed. Local organisations are ultimately responsible for determining the appropriate use of NHS estate, including for key worker accommodation.
