UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces a new recruitment drive for the country's National Health Service (NHS). If successful, the "long-term workforce plan" will see more than 300,000 new staff added. The publicly funded NHS, which marks its 75th birthday on 5 July 2023, is facing an estimated workforce shortfall of 360,000 by 2037 because of an ageing population, a lack of domestically trained health workers and difficulties retaining staff.
