The government partially accepts this recommendation. Staff retention is critical to ensuring continuity of care for people with SMI. Workforce pressures, including burnout and limited progression opportunities, are recognised challenges across mental health services. NHS staff told us through the 10 Year Health Plan engagement that they are crying out for change. The 10 Year Workforce Plan will set out how we will deliver that change by making sure that staff are better treated and have better training, more fulfilling roles, and hope for the future. We will also develop a set of staff standards so that all staff will be supported to work healthily and flexibly.
