At long last, an NHS workforce plan! Its success will depend on developing efficient and effective ways to make the NHS, and its facilities, places where people want to work; plus address pay issues, and include a social care workforce plan.

Meanwhile, at a time when 'the UK’s care sector needs workers from abroad, 'right-wing' MPs want to slash immigration to save face – whatever the cost'. @simonjenkins4 @guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/03/cutting-carers-nhs-new-conservatives?CMP=share_btn_tw

A plan to cut carers when the NHS is on its knees – do ‘red wall’ Tory MPs really think this will save them?

#NHSWorkforcePlan: 'Train more NHS staff domestically. This will mean that we can reduce reliance on international recruitment and agency staff. In 15 years’ time, we expect around 9– 10.5% of our workforce to be recruited from overseas, compared to nearly a quarter now.'

@JoePajak The government have again failed to identify and correct for all the issues at hand, social care being one of the largest holes in their plan. So utterly disappointing but also unsurprising. https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nuffield-trust-response-to-the-nhs-long-term-workforce-plan
