answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Information on how many non-disclosure agreements the National Health Service has entered into with NHS staff in each of the last five years is not held centrally.</p><p>Non-disclosure agreements are settlement agreements that includes some form of confidentiality requirement that applies to one or both parties. Confidentiality clauses used appropriately can have a right and proper place but should go no further than is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of both the employer and the worker. Any cause in settlement agreement or contract of employment which purports to prevent an individual from making a protected disclosure, speaking about patient survey, quality of care or other wrong doing that is in the public interest has no place in the NHS and in any event would have no legal effect.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 29/10/2019 12:42:41 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
