Will the Minister provide an update on the timeline for the delivery of the national nursing retention plan that was due to be published in April 2023?
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 26/07/2023
Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is leading the development of the Strategic Nursing Workforce Plan for Wales.
I understand the original timescale to develop a Nurse Retention Plan has been delayed as HEIW have developed additional resources such as a retention guide and a self-assessment tool to help with the implementation of the plan.
HEIW have advised they intend to finalise the plan and additional tools in the next few weeks.
