answer text <p>No individuals have been subject to credit checking by Experian at Greenwich and Lewisham NHS Trust. Rather the Trust has conducted checks on the residency status of patients as they are required to do by law.</p><p>Credit checking describes accessing someone’s credit history for the purpose of assessing their suitability for credit. A person’s credit history is the factual record of credit they have used over the last six years.</p><p>The residency check, on the other hand, looks at many sources to see whether someone has a digital footprint in the United Kingdom as a proxy for whether they are likely to be resident. A residency check has no impact on credit scores or reports but simply cross-references the information provided with Experian’s existing records, to confirm that further enquires may be required by the Trust to establish a person’s eligibility to NHS funded care.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

Any matters pertaining to workforce as a result of these reviews would be referred to the NHS England and NHS Improvement nursing clinical workforce team, who would then provide targeted support.</p><p>In addition, NHS trusts are required to specify the degree of their compliance with Developing Workforce Safeguards, which explains the principles behind safe staffing.</p><p>Developing Workforce Safeguards can be accessed via the following link:</p><p><a href="https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/developing-workforce-safeguards/" target="_blank">https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/developing-workforce-safeguards/</a></p><p> </p><p>In addition, appropriate staffing levels are a core element of the Care Quality Commission’s registration regime, which is underpinned by legislation.
