have held a series of events with professionals working for local health providers
in order to ensure their perspectives on the Multispecialty Community Provider (MCP)
were also captured. These included sessions with staff from Dudley and Walsall Mental
Health Partnership NHS Trust, governors from the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust,
and a group of local general practitioners. In addition, deep-dive events were also
conducted with local clinicians. In total, approximately 80 staff attended these events.</p><p>
</p><p>Where staff roles fall under the services in scope of the MCP contract, and
that contract is awarded to a new provider, staff may transfer under TUPE regulations.
Existing employers have a duty to engage and consult with the staff on any possible
transfer. Under TUPE, any employees that are transferred to a new employer will be
able to retain their job role, their terms and conditions of employment, and their
continuity of service.</p>
