Health Services: Standards
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he will have discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential merits of extending the Civility Saves Lives initiative to other public-facing services, including Jobcentre Plus and local authority housing departments.
- Answer
-
The Civility Saves Lives initiative highlights the importance of behaviours in the workplace and the impact that rudeness can have on performance, wellbeing, and patient safety. It is a movement created by healthcare professionals, rather than a national initiative developed and rolled out by the Department or NHS England.
There are currently no plans to discuss the initiative with colleagues in other Government departments.
