answer text <p>The Department has made no such assessment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care. All providers of regulated activities must register with CQC and comply with Regulations and a set of fundamental standards of safety and quality.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>One of these fundamental standards relates to treating users of services with dignity and respect. The CQC issues guidance to providers on how they should meet the fundamental standards. The guidance on the standard governing dignity and respect includes the following:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>- when people receive care and treatment, all staff must treat them with dignity and respect at all times. This includes staff treating them in a caring and compassionate way; and</p><p> </p><p>- all communication with people using services must be respectful. This includes using or facilitating the most suitable means of communication and respecting a person's right to engage or not to engage in communication; and</p><p> </p><p>- people using the service should be addressed in the way they prefer, and local colloquial terms may fit such guidelines perfectly well.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>National Health Service staff earning above £21,000 had their pay frozen during 2011/12 and 2012/13 with, since then, most staff receiving at least 1% increases. This approach to pay has helped protect jobs in the NHS and maintain services for patients.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is no evidence that the pay freeze affected staff morale. While the NHS Staff Survey, which provides the most comprehensive assessment of staff views about working in the NHS, does not directly measure staff morale, staff engagement, which includes staff motivation at work, staff recommending their trust as a place to work or receive treatment, and the percentage of staff able to contribute towards improvements at work, has remained high with a score of 3.76/5 in 2014 (latest available) rising from 3.68/5 in 2012 (the first year staff engagement was included).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
