Will the Cabinet Secretary clarify the actions being taken by the Welsh Government to tackle the significant staff vacancies within Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board?
Our National Workforce Implementation Plan sets out actions to improve recruitment and retention, including improving staff wellbeing, and continued investment in education and training.
The Welsh Government continues to invest in training new workforce to support our health system in Wales; £281.98 million was invested in 2023-24 and we have maintained this level for 2024-25.
The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board workforce is now at record high levels. While challenges remain, north Wales continues to be an attractive place to train, work and live.
