Text

Thank you, Minister. I am sure that you will agree that workforce retention is at the heart of safe care. Do you accept that the ongoing delay in the winter preparedness plan will have an impact on staff retention levels? Can you commit to when that plan will be published, given that it was promised in August, then September, and we are now well into October?
