Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether Knowsley NHS Clinical Commissioning Group took part in the 2020 NHS Staff Survey.
The NHS Knowsley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) did not take part in the 2020 NHS Staff Survey. Since March 2020, all staff in the CCG have worked from home due to the pandemic. In 2020 the CCG followed good practice guidance and carried out a Staff Health and Wellbeing Survey. The content was derived from other best practice examples and was completed anonymously. Feedback was given to staff and the survey and outputs were reported to the governing body. In addition, the CCG carried out a risk assessment with every member of staff to further support them in their individual home working circumstances and to determine deployment options where relevant - for example, supporting the vaccination programme.
