HC Deb 10 January 1978 vol 941 c685W
16. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the state of relations between staff and employers in the National Health Service.

Mr. Moyle

There is always scope for improving industrial relations in an organisation as complex and diverse as the National Health Service. I and my colleagues take every opportunity to encourage health authorities to follow good practice in this field, and in particular we stress the need to consult staff representatives on all important matters before decisions are taken.
