Jane Hunt MP asked:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure the NHS has adequate (a) staff and (b) skills to support new and innovative models of delivery for cancer services.
Jo Churchill MP, Minister for Vaccines and Public Health, responded:
Health Education England (HEE) published its first ever Cancer Workforce Plan in December 2017, which commits to the expansion of capacity and skills. The upcoming NHS People Plan will set out further actions to secure the National Health Service staff and cancer workforce we need for the future.
