Occupational Standards - Workforce Numbers Group (WoNuG)

The National Workforce Numbers Group (WoNuG) has been a sub-group of the NWC which leads strategic workforce planning for NHSScotland and has advised on future workforce numbers required for NHSScotland.

This is done through the publication of an annual National Workforce Plan (2005 Workforce Planning Framework published Aug 05).

WoNuG meets quarterly and includes representatives from NHSScotland, the Scottish Executive Health Department, academia, local authorities, the royal colleges and staff representative groups.

WoNuG is also responsible for taking forward the development of information systems needed to provide a robust and authoritative evidence-base for making projections of future workforce requirements.

In delivering on this remit, WoNuG is overseeing actions to deliver on the Workforce Information Strategy for NHSScotland.
