Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : A compassionate, well-trained and well-resourced NHS workforce that collaborates with social care and the voluntary sector is integral to supporting people severely affected by mental illness to recover and have a good quality of life.
63% : Daren Mochrie QAM said: "The ambulance sector, its employees and volunteers play an integral part in the delivery of care across health and social care.
62% : While the plan does not cover social care, it will have to be delivered in partnership with people working in social care who bring a depth of expertise in prevention, personalisation, wellbeing and person-centred support."
61% : We therefore very much welcome this new long-term NHS workforce plan, which we hope will give fresh impetus for ambulance services to continue to play, and in fact, enhance, this role alongside health and social care partners.
59% : AACE looks forward to working closely with its members, the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and other key stakeholders to deliver this significant plan for the benefit of both employees and patients."
56% : We see this plan as the crucial first leg in a three-legged stool that the NHS needs to revive and thrive - the other two being an equivalent plan for the social care workforce, alongside extra investment in capital and technology.
56% : We are committed to tackling those challenges together and welcome the framework the plan provides to enable us to work within it while we work towards an equally necessary plan for social care."
48% : Social care providers share the same staffing shortages, funding challenges and cost of living pressures as our NHS colleagues.
