The government have provided much greater clarity for those who might be struggling with accountability. The Department of Health and Social Care have published a white paper. This is going to pave the way for a new Health and Care Bill which is being brought in 2022. One of the proposals to seek and address concerns that might have come from the Royal College of Nursing. They are doing this about a lack of accountability. Right now it’s not clear that there is a high level of clear or effective staffing. As part of the consultation in the bill, which launched in 2019, it would seem that there are widespread nurse shortages and the college have stated that it has to be clearer where the responsibility sat for this. This is especially the case when it comes to planning and supply. The college have been backing their demands and right now there are over 10,000 people who have put their names forward as well. The white paper has been published and they are going to propose and impose a new duty which will help those who work in health and social care. They are going to publish a report and this is going to be done once every 5 years. They are going to set out roles and even responsibilities which will help the workforce planning in England. Of course, this move is going to ensure that there’s much greater clarity when it comes to workforce responsibilities and this is of course, going to reflect on all of the concerns that are being raised by the Royal College of Nursing. This is going to support way greater clarity and it’s going to really make a difference to the industry as we know it.
