Recommendation 50

In this context, it is important that the Government looks at ways of improving short term efficiency to promote positive mental health and headspace for all frontline workers. It could do this through looking at ways to reduce bureaucracy—perhaps through the use of technology—and reducing the time that frontline workers spend on administrative tasks. This could be achieved through reinstating administrative support staff and by investing in adequate ICT infrastructure. The cumulative effect of these measures would be to help give clinicians and frontline workers the capacity for headspace. (Paragraph 176) Retention in Social Care
