Better support for health workers is a key part of Government plans to retain them.

Health Minister Ayesha Verrall has today unveiled the strategy to tackle shortages of more than 8,000 doctors, nurses, and other health workers.

Moves include ramping up offshore recruitment efforts and expanding 'earn-as-you-learn' programmes.

Verrall says it's also about keeping them in the workforce, and that's about more than pay.

"That includes doing things as simple as feeding our workers at night and also looking after them when they are working in tough conditions."
