NHS Workforce: England

Proceeding contribution from Derek Thomas (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 July 2019. It occurred during Debate on NHS Workforce: England.

I said that in humour, which is why I talked about my own skill—or lack of. It is a curious thing, though, to hear people talking about the crisis in staffing when so many of them are in this place.

On a more important note, we are in a tricky situation with the challenges around the apprenticeship levy. In Cornwall, we hope to train 200 nurses using the apprenticeship levy over the next two years—that would address the shortage—but we have to recognise that funding is needed and I know that the Minister is looking at that now.
