Question
What is the Welsh Government taking in this calendar year to bolster the Welsh NHS workforce?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
Retaining staff is equally as important as recruiting new staff. Our National Workforce Implementation Plan sets out actions to improve retention, including improving staff wellbeing, and continued investment in education and training. The Welsh Government has and will continue to invest in the workforce required to support our health system in Wales. £281.98 million was invested in 2023-24 to support education and training programmes for healthcare professionals in Wales.
