Summary

The NHS is the biggest issue of the 2024 General Election. But is the campaign discussing the real issues? Britain can't fix the NHS without fixing the NHS workforce, and Dr Billy Palmer is the expert. In this episode, we delve into the NHS workforce plan, the history of NHS staffing decisions, how to improve recruitment and retention, the problem of transition costs, and how to tackle spiralling agency staff costs. We also ask what pragmatic options a new government could take. Stay tuned until the end for a bonus section where Billy shares his top policy recommendations for an incoming government—so that's if Wes Streeting happens to be listening, if you believe the polls. I hope you enjoy!
