The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times the NHS has settled employment disputes and whistleblowing complaints before going to court in the last five years.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department does not hold the information requested. Each National Health Service employer should hold this information for their own organisation. NHS organisations as independent employers who manage their own employment disputes and whether and how to settle claims prior to an Employment Tribunal or court hearing.
