NHS Workforce Expansion

Proceeding contribution from Helen Whately (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2023. It occurred during Opposition day on NHS Workforce Expansion.

I will make a bit of progress, so that there is the opportunity for Back Benchers to speak.

We have heard and will no doubt continue to hear about how we have been in power for 13 years so far, so it is only right to look at some of the figures since 2010. Since 2010, we have 35,000 more hospital doctors and 46,000 more nurses and health visitors, not to mention a nearly 50% increase in medical consultants and a near 60% increase in paramedics. That is what we have done.
