Lucy Hunte
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether disciplinary action was taken against Lucy Hunte, national programme manager for apprenticeships at NHS England, over social media posts about the Leader of the Opposition.
- Answer
-
Ministers cannot comment on matters relating to individual employees. Whether or not to take disciplinary action is a private employment decision and is the responsibility of the employer concerned. Any such decision would not be widely shared because disclosure would amount to a breach of the Data Protection Act 2018. NHS England manages conduct matters in accordance with its policies and procedures.
