Question Asked
Asked by:
Dr Beccy Cooper (Labour)
Answer
NHS staff have been overworked for years, with staff being burnt out and demoralised.
We are committed to training the staff we need, including anaesthetists, to ensure patients are cared for by the right professional, when and where they need it.
We will ensure that the number of medical specialty training places meets the demands of the NHS in the future. NHS England will work with stakeholders to ensure that any growth is sustainable and focused in the service areas where need is greatest.
There is no quick fix, but through the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan we will build a health service fit for the future.
