Require NHS recruit based on merit and fair and open competition

Petition Details

NHS recruitments are not held to the same standard as Civil Service recruitments. The NHS is a publicly funded body through taxation. We want the Government to require that staff selected for employment with the NHS be based on merit and fair and open competition

Additional Information

We believe there are significant issues in social justice, equality, diversity and inclusiveness in the NHS. By applying the same standards as for Civil Servant appointments, applicants will be better able to challenge recruitment where there is evidence of nepotism, cronyism or favouritism.

The Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 requires that a person's selection for the Civil Service must be on merit on the basis of fair and open competition. We want the same requirement to be introduced for the NHS.
