Closed Launch an independent inquiry into injustices suffered by BME NHS staff

Closed on

We would like the Government to commission an independent inquiry into injustices which have been suffered by BME NHS staff, to see what lessons can be learned so that such injustices do not happen again in the future, and to provide support and compassion to those who have suffered.

There are widespread concerns about injustices experienced by BME NHS staff, with suffering also impacting the families of those who have suffered.

An independent inquiry is needed to identify flawed procedures and review safeguards in NHS systems, so these can be rectified. Unfairness in the workplace results in low morale and staffing issues, which will inevitably also then have an impact on patient care.

Unfairness also can take up valuable NHS resources. All of this needs to be investigated.
