A set of targeted workforce plans have been published or are in development as a result of priorities identified in A Healthier Wales: Our Workforce Strategy for Health and Social Care Workforce, which was published in 2020, setting a 10-year strategic direction and vision for workforce transformation.
These specific workforce plans span mental health, pharmacy, dentistry nursing and primary care. These workforce plans will all improve the workforce capacity and capability to meet child health needs. There are specific goals within the plans to address some of the urgent workforce needs. For example in the Strategic Mental Health Workforce Plan for Health and Social Care, parent-infant and children and young people are identified as priority workforce areas.
