Deputy Director of Health Workforce Steven Lea Ross wrote to all NHS staff to inform them of up to date workforce guidance in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the letter he made the following notable comments:
“The purpose of this guidance is to clarify how NHS employers, staff and managers should act in cases of outbreaks of Coronavirus (COVID-19) affecting the NHS workforce.
“This guidance is also designed to inform and work alongside Health Boards’ local resilience arrangements.
“This guidance ensures a fair and consistent approach to how the Attendance Policy and Special/Carer Leave Policies are applied during COVID-19 outbreaks. This guidance is for staff employed by Health Boards, including those working in GP practices and for private contractors. This guidance also covers bank staff and the deployment of staff.”
