Publishing the #NHSWorkforcePlan is a big step forwards but without addressing: ⭕Leaver rates in NHS staff ⭕Years of below inflation pay rises Then training more staff will do little to address the problem if the NHS cannot hold onto the staff it already has.

We also need to grow the economy to create better-paid jobs and opportunities right across the UK. Here’s how: ➡️Making the UK a great place to do business with agile regulation ➡️Attracting talent with competitive visa schemes ➡️Banging the drum for Britain around the world

We must learn from this, urgently, dispassionately & completely; without evasion or spin, starting right now, to prepare us for tomorrow & all the tomorrow’s that follow. To do anything less would be to dishonour those we have lost & those who fought to save them. #NHS #Covid19
