Your response
Please give us your views in the response boxes for each of the draft principles. We would advise that you read all the principles first, before you complete the form. Your response should indicate either your broad support for the principle(s) as a basis for your negotiations of harmonised on-call arrangements, or indicate which principle(s) may cause difficulty and why, by identifying:
1. any terms or wording which are confusing and may need further explanation
2. any unintended consequences of the principle
3. any reasons why this may hinder local negotiations.
We are keen to hear the views of employers and the NHS trade unions on the draft principles, ideally in partnership. We have also included a response option for staff, who are unable to respond via their staff side representative.
The deadline for all responses is 12 noon on Friday 10 September. Unfortunately we are unable to consider any responses that are received after this deadline.
