Description
The consultation paper proposes the introduction of legislation that would require organisations providing health and social care to:

  • Apply nationally agreed, evidenced based workload and workforce planning methodologies and tools.

  • Ensure that key principles, notably consideration of professional judgement, local context and quality measures, underpin workload and workforce planning and inform staffing decisions.

  • Monitor and report on how they have done this and provide assurance regarding safe and effective staffing.
