Delivering the NHS Improvement Plan: the workforce contribution

The NHS Improvement Plan sets the agenda for delivering better patient services over the next four years. SHAs and their local health communities have prepared capacity plans for 2008 that will underpin key aspects of the NHS Improvement Plan. These will be signed off by the end of October and will support the development of broader Local Delivery Plans (LDP) for signing off next spring. This document highlights the strategic workforce issues that support LDPs and identifies further resources that are available.
