answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2020 answer text <p>Employees with the necessary qualifying service who consider that they have been dismissed unfairly may complain to an employment tribunal. The case of an employee who has been dismissed as a result of health issues clearly demands special consideration. For example, a tribunal will expect the employer to have considered whether there was suitable alternative work available. Employees may also be able to seek redress through the civil courts or employment tribunals if their dismissal breaches the terms of their contracts, for instance, because the employer has failed to comply with provisions relating to sickness absence.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 22/09/2020 14:45:02 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully

To ensure the best use of National Health Service resources for clinical research during the acute phase of the pandemic, the NIHR established a process to prioritise COVID-19 research as Urgent Public Health Research. The NIHR Clinical Research Network is supporting prioritised studies by fast tracking their local set-up, management and delivery. PHOSP-COVID was prioritised through this process on 1 July 2020.</p><p>On 31 July, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care convened a roundtable meeting with researchers and clinicians to establish what more can be done to understand and mitigate the long-term health effects of COVID-19. The Department recognises the need for further research into the longer-term effects of the virus in those who did not require hospitalisation and is currently considering options for future work in this area.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/09/2020 12:28:36 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 49217 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481
