UNISON CALLS FOR VOICE OF WORKFORCE TO BE HEARD BY NEW HEALTH SERVICE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Wednesday 17 June 2020

UNISON has responded to the Department of Health Permanent Secretary in relation to the creation of a new Management Board for the Health Service. Our Regional Secretary, Patricia McKeown, has written to the Permanent Secretary (16th June) expressing serious concerns around democratic accountability and engagement with UNISON on the future of the health service.

UNISON is calling for the voice of the workforce to be heard by the Management Board. Our health and social care workers are at the frontline in dealing with Covid-19 and will take the lead in rebuilding services. 

UNISON will not tolerate the union, our members or the public being by-passed on any decisions about the future of our health and social care system.
