Where is the money for implementing the WTD?
Answer NHS funding is expected to increase by an average of 7.4 % in England over each of the next five years. This includes provision for the impact of WTD. However, we recognise there may be extra costs connected to training or assessment. A strategic change fund of £46m has been set up to support pilot projects and other initiatives by Trusts to prepare for implementation of WTD for doctors in training. £7m of which is being spent this year to fund a programme of over 20 WTD pilot projects looking at different ways of working.
