KAREN REISSMANN AND MANCHESTER MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE TRUST

Early day motion 443, tabled 29 November 2007 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 83 members.

That this House notes with concern the sacking of Karen Reissmann, a senior practitioner nurse, from the Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust; is concerned that she was unjustifiably dismissed for speaking out against proposed changes to services which many staff believe would result in a worse service to patients; recognises the right of all citizens to freedom of speech; condemns Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust for disciplining Karen Reissmann for exercising her right; and calls on Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust to reinstate Karen Reissmann with immediate effect.
