answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises that there are workforce capacity challenges facing ophthalmology services, which is why we have increased training places in 2022, with further places planned for 2023. This sits alongside action being taken to train existing ophthalmology staff so they are able to work to the top of their clinical license.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, backed by over £2.4 billion to fund additional education and training places over the next five years, sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. This is a high-level plan to support the NHS workforce as a whole, covering doctors, nurses, and other key health professions. The plan sets out how the primary eye care workforce could deliver more eye care services in the community to help build capacity.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 13/07/2023 12:03:16 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
