read the DH factsheets and Q&A. what a pile of centrally led misinformed drivel. HSJ should be proud though, the official factsheet on commissioning support directs staff to the HSJ version of the leaked november guidance. You'd have thought the official final version published by the NHSCB last week would be more appropriate, but accuracy / fact doesn't seem to matter as long as Sir N can confirm all staff got a letter.

The Q&A about the letter which staff have been pointed to also proudly pronounces that the majority of staff have had confirmation of their function's destination. I've read my letter, i know what most people got in our area, and it's clear from other comments the same is true across the country. Making that Q&A an outright lie. Why do PCTs have to push this rubbish onto their staff, it's misleading and trashes confidence in local leadership.

From the start of Sir David's video message to the end of my cluster CEOs personal letter to me this is a sickening example of a shallow, dishonest, misleading, commitment to caring about staff and keeping them informed.

If anyone on the NHSCB Board actually belives an ounce of what's being said about the importance of supporting and informing staff the person who insisted on this whole saga should but their hand up and clear their desk. They clearly know jack about real staff engagement or how to respectfully treat other adults. Sir Neil,whoever you are and whatever you did to get where you are this mess is proof you're out of touch. Have some respect for the people on the ground trying to lead this reorganisation, and for thousands of staff working in PCTs and SHAs. Call a halt to the misguided top down direction forcing CEOs and HR professionals to do their jobs badly but consitently. The door is that way>>>>
