The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support phlebotomists in Gloucester.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Local organisations are responsible for supporting their workforce, including staff in phlebotomy roles. We are aware of local industrial action in Gloucester. This is a local issue for the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to manage, working in partnership with trade unions.
