We are pleased to announce that there has been a statement from Unison, which represents some of the staff due to be transferred to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary company (WOS) or as it was previously referred to, an SPV, that the Hospital Trust has announced it has scrapped the plans. The statement said..
“At a meeting Monday morning UNISON stewards received confirmation from Director Mark Braden
that the Trust has stopped all work, both for now and in the future, on forming a Wholly Owned Subsidiary company.”
Leaflets from the public, and a petition, detailed in the posts below, plus pressure from local MPs, must have tipped the balance.
It is a testament to the saying ‘people power works’.
Thank you all who helped the staff keep their NHS status.
