Health written question – answered at on 29 February 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the effect of the National Health Service Transition Programme on the morale of NHS staff; what representations he has received on this matter; and from whom such representation was received.
The annual NHS staff survey is used to monitor and benchmark the experiences of staff working for the NHS and provides an indication of morale. The 2010 survey is the most recent available, and demonstrates that against a background of significant change, NHS staff remain committed to delivering the best possible standard of care for their patients.
The Department's ministerial correspondence database does not have a specific keyword to index correspondence concerning morale among NHS staff. Providing a figure with regard to the number of items of correspondence received about the effect of the National Health Service Transition Programme on the morale of NHS staff would incur disproportionate cost. This represents correspondence processed by the Department's central correspondence team only.
