NHS: Disclosure of Information and Employment Tribunals Service
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much the NHS has spent on legal costs and compensation following employment disputes and whistleblowing complaints in the last five years.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Information is not held centrally as it is held at trust level. The Department and NHS England do not hold employment dispute data for all National Health Service employers. Employment disputes are typically raised against an individual employee’s employing organisation, and each trust are separate employers.
