answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2021 answer text <p>The Health and Care Bill does not make any changes to National Health Service employment contracts. The Health and Care Bill provides for clinical commissioning group staff to transfer to integrated care boards (ICBs) via a transfer order. This has now been extended to allow transfer orders to be used for other health care employees who are transferring to ICBs.  All staff including board level will transfer via the transfer scheme. Board level colleagues will transfer in either their new designate role or as a displaced member of staff and part of the talent pool.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 29/11/2021 16:58:33 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 33463 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
