Joint Trade Union Response to the Department of Health National Decontamination Strategy

The unions Amicus, GMB and UNISON represent the majority of staff employed in the NHS providing decontamination and sterile services. Attached is our response to the proposals contained within the Department of Health (DH) National Decontamination Strategy for England.

This document focuses on the technical aspects of the strategy that are cause for concern. The Joint Unions are continuing with talks nationally in an attempt to address the problems created by the lack of trade union consultation at an earlier stage.

If you have any question arising from this edition of Reps Direct please contact your Regional Officer.
