The unique nature of such work means that checks may need to be more comprehensive than other locations and can take time.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England continues to work with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service and the Ministry of Justice to expedite clearance on a case by case basis where concerns are raised by providers.</p><p> </p><p>The end-to-end recruitment procedure has been reviewed by the Ministry of Justice to identify the points at which delays have or can take place. Action has been taken to address these and the backlog of cases has been reduced significantly from last year. This in turn, should also result in reduced processing times in security vetting for all staff.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 04/09/2018 13:21:53 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
