To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department plans to take to use volunteers to help deliver NHS (a) resilience and (b) career pathways, in the context of the forthcoming 10 Year Plan.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The National Health Service has always benefited from the generous support of volunteers and voluntary sector organisations. Volunteers have, and will continue to have, an important and complementary role in the NHS and care system, supporting patients, families, and staff.
A central part of the 10-Year Health Plan will be our workforce and those who support our workforce, so we can ensure that the NHS has the right people, in the right places, with the right skills to deliver the care patients need, when they need it.
