Workforce and Education functions during transition

The consultation document Liberating the NHS: Developing the healthcare workforce published in December 2010, highlighted that it is time to give employers greater responsibility for planning and developing the healthcare workforce. It is proposed that local "Skills Networks" of employers will take on many of the workforce functions currently discharged by Strategic Health Authorities. The quality of education and training will remain under the stewardship of the healthcare professions, working in partnership with education and training providers.
