Recommendation 66
66
Paragraph: 218
Wider market forces impede health and social care worker recruitment and retention.
Conclusion
Wider market forces, including the rising cost of living, a lack of affordable housing, and a lack of public transport in remote locations are having an impact on the recruitment and retention of health and social care workers. These issues manifest differently across the country, and it is clear that without action to address these wider issues, the NHS and social care sectors will continue to struggle to recruit and retain staff.
