MPs examine reasons behind staff exiting NHS and social care workforce

MPs examine reasons behind staff exiting NHS and social care workforce The workforce inquiry will examine a range of factors that may contribute to staff leaving the NHS and social care and what needs to change to improve retention.

Awareness of issues around the impact of motherhood on pay, part time working, and the gender pay gap will be considered. One review has found that from the moment of having their first child, women in medicine will not earn as much as their male peers until they are about the age of 65. MPs will also hear evidence on racial inequalities with reports that healthcare staff from ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to experience bullying, harassment or abuse from other staff.
