Written question asked by Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 30 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It was answered by Ann Keen (Labour) on Wednesday, 7 April 2010 on behalf of the Department of Health.


Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust

Question
(2) what steps (a) his Department and (b) the NHS has taken to implement the recommendations of the independent investigation undertaken on behalf of NHS London into the employment of Dr. Kim Holt by Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust; and if he will take steps to ensure full implementation of all recommendations in the report.
Answer

The Department would expect national health service organisations to adhere to relevant employment legislation and best practice human resources. Disciplinary and grievance issues in the NHS are dealt with at a local level in line with local policies and procedures. Therefore questions should be referred directly to the chief executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust.
