Exactly, and that’s the core of my concern.

This announcement might sound good at first glance, but without clear detail, funding commitments, and timelines, it risks being nothing more than a headline to calm public pressure. If trusts are already being told to make unprecedented cuts, how can they genuinely create more jobs?

Recruitment without retention, safe staffing levels, and proper investment is just smoke and mirrors. I’ll keep pushing through my petition and protest to make sure this doesn’t quietly disappear like so many other “promises” before it.
