Recommendation
The Committee welcomes the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES), along with the People Plan, as an important step towards an NHS which offers equal opportunities to all its staff. We were pleased to hear in our oral evidence session that work had begun to provide similar information to the WRES in social care. This year’s WRES report concludes that ‘now is the time to translate the data to actions.’ We agree. Part of this must be to ensure that the boards of the new ICSs appropriately represent the populations they serve.
