PROTECTION OF NHS STAFF IN WALES

Early day motion 1254, tabled 25 March 2008 by Alun Michael (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House calls on the Government to make it its policy to amend the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill in order to ensure that the protections provided in the Bill for NHS staff and premises apply to both Wales and England; notes that whereas the management of NHS services is devolved to the National Assembly for Wales, criminal justice issues are not devolved; and believes that the primary legislation should apply across England and Wales, preferably to hospices and palliative care establishments, as well as to all NHS establishments irrespective of their form of governance.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Independent Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
