Chris Seeks Update On NHS Hybrid Working & Productivity Impact
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what NHS England's policy is on hybrid working arrangements for (a) medical and (b) non-medical staff; and whether NHS England has made an assessment of the potential impact of working from home for up to (i) one, (ii) two, (iii) three and (iv) four days a week on levels of work productivity.
Andrew Stephenson Assistant Whip, Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
NHS England’s working from home policy, as of April 2024, will ask all colleagues with a contractual office base to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in-person. This will apply to both medical and non-medical staff.
A flexible work model will help the National Health Service to recruit and retain people more effectively, and is an important aspect of both the NHS People Promise and the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. NHS England will continue to shape their ways of working based on what allows them to deliver high-quality services for all.
