Weston General Hospital says it did not mislead unions over staffing levels during the strikes.
UHBW's chief executive Euhgine Yafele said patient safety and safe staffing were "at the heart" of the trust's decisionsA hospital boss has insisted his team would never "wittingly or unwittingly mislead" unions over staffing levels.to get seven junior doctors back into work"The facts that we presented in terms of the number of staff we had on duty did not change prior to the derogation being issued," said Euhgine Yafele.
The BMA revoked the agreement - called a derogation - which is allowed as part of NHS strike contingency plans and said UHBW was either unaware it had sufficient staff numbers or it deliberately misled the union. At a trust board meeting on 18 April Mr Yafele said: "I categorically want to assure the board that we do not mislead wittingly or unwittingly."
He said when the derogation was agreed, the issue in terms of staffing "had not changed materially - so in many respects the information that we gave was accurate, albeit that we had a fast-changing picture in terms of staffing". He added: "Needless to say that it is difficult when we have to balance the need for us to maintain safety and safe services as well as respecting colleagues' right to take industrial action.He said until there was a resolution, the trust would continue to put patient safety and safe staffing "at the heart" of its decisions.
