PROTECTION OF NHS STAFF IN WALES

25 March 200827 Signatures

Motion Text

That this House calls on the Government to make it its policy to amend the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill in order to ensure that the protections provided in the Bill for NHS staff and premises apply to both Wales and England; notes that whereas the management of NHS services is devolved to the National Assembly for Wales, criminal justice issues are not devolved; and believes that the primary legislation should apply across England and Wales, preferably to hospices and palliative care establishments, as well as to all NHS establishments irrespective of their form of governance.
