§ Laura MoffattTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what form the recent survey for assessing the views of people working in the NHS took. [116948]
§ Mr. DenhamAll National Health Service employers are required under the NHS human resources framework, "Working Together", to have conducted an annual staff attitude survey by April 2000.
The NHS Executive has issued guidance for NHS employers on good practice in designing, administering and acting upon the results of employee opinion surveys. It describes core areas which all NHS employers should cover in their surveys, but it does not prescribe a particular survey which all NHS employers must use.
There are no current plans to develop a core employee opinion survey for use by all NHS employers.
