Motion text

That this House is aware that despite widespread opposition from the general public in Nottinghamshire, the NHS Nottinghamshire County, NHS Nottingham City and Bassetlaw Primary Care Trustshave decided to award theirFamily Health Service support functions to a private company called Shared Business Services; notes that included in this company's strategy is the planned outsourcing of 100 NHS jobs to India and the offshoring of local patient data; and believes that such a decision is not in the interests of local health services as local administrative workers in the NHS play a vital and extremely important part in the service, enabling both attention to patient need and giving front-line staff the opportunity to spend their time instead on working effectively, efficiently and safely on patient needs.
