The West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership People Plan 2021-2025 sets out our ambitions for our ‘one workforce’ which includes those working in health, social care, the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, unpaid carers (approximately 400,000 people, as many do not access formal support) and recognises the contribution made by our education sector in developing the current and future workforce.
