I thank the Member for her comments, specifically on the workforce plan and the workforce strategy. She will be aware that my Department's ambition for developing our workforce is outlined in 'Health and Social Care Workforce Strategy 2026 — Delivering for our People'. I was pleased that the strategy's second action plan, for the period 2022-23 to 2024-25 was published in June. It was developed following widespread engagement with stakeholders from across Health and Social Care. The implementation of that ambitious programme of work is ongoing and includes initiatives to enhance our attraction and retention of staff while removing barriers to recruitment. It also reduces agency spend and supports employers in the provision of staff health and well-being services.
