tabling member printed	Lord Rooker
uin	HL92
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2024 answer text <p>The Government wants National Health Service staff to have the confidence to speak out and come forward if they have concerns. There are currently over 1,200 local Freedom to Speak Up Guardians across healthcare in England who provide a route for workers to express any concerns about the practices and treatments in their organisation. Over 133,000 cases have been reported to Guardians since the policy was establishment in 2016, and in 2023/24 79.8% of staff who received support from their Guardian and gave feedback said they would speak up again.</p><p>Despite this, the 2023 NHS staff survey results showed that only 50% felt that if they spoke up about something that concerned them, their organisation would address their concern. There is therefore a lot more to do before speaking up can be described as business as usual in the NHS.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 05/08/2024 15:13:51 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron
