I don't know which is more alarming about your Working Lives article ('In on the act', page 26, 28 September), the idea that some unfortunate employee of the Healthcare Commission spent 285 hours studying NHS websites, or the reported remark that scanning a website for 30 minutes is only a superficial survey.

I don't know which is more alarming about your Working Lives article ('In on the act', page 26, 28 September), the idea that some unfortunate employee of the Healthcare Commission spent 285 hours studying NHS websites, or the reported remark that scanning a website for 30 minutes is only a superficial survey.

However, it is not surprising that 98 per cent of trust websites do not contain information about compliance with the race equality duty. Most trust websites contain very little useful information of any kind. Quite a few cannot even provide their address or contact details.

Can I suggest that next year you institute an HSJ award for the best trust website?
