The group's chief executive Rachel Beverley-Stevenson was reported as saying that workforce supply and service demand were the key issues facing the National Health Service (NHS) in the 2015 United Kingdom general election, but they had not been tackled by any political party.

Beverley-Stevenson pointed out that while politicians had claimed they would fund 8,000 new doctors and so many new nurses’, it takes 10 years to train a GP and a number of years to train a really good nurse.
