(15 June 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to support student nurses into full time employment in Gloucester constituency.

Asked by:
Alex McIntyre (Labour)

Answer

Decisions on recruitment and employment are a matter for individual National Health Service trusts, which manage their recruitment at a local level, ensuring they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care.

As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we are working closely with NHS England, employers, and educators to improve transition into the workforce.

The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan.
