Doctors Laboratory: Conditions of Employment

Question

Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to conduct a review of employment practices at The Doctors Laboratory.

Answer

The employment practices of The Doctors Laboratory are not a matter the Department can comment on, as neither the Department nor the National Health Service employ the staff working at The Doctors Laboratory.

The Doctors Laboratory is a private laboratory that provides pathology testing capacity to a number of hospitals in the London 2 path lab network. As such we are not involved in their employment practices and would not have protocols in place about how they manage their staff.
