Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East has welcomed the national confidential NHS alert line which will be put in place for NHS staff from today. The confidential phone line, 0800 008 6112, goes live for NHS staff.
Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East and Shadow Minister for Public Health said:
“Scottish Conservatives have long advocated the establishment of the national confidential NHS helpline and I am pleased that this has been taken forward and will be operation from today.
“It is vital that we build a culture of openness within out NHS where our first class frontline medics can speak out about concerns and suggest improvements.
“I will be pressing SNP Ministers to make sure that all NHS staff are made aware of the new helpline and seek to make sure that all concerns are being fully investigated and addressed by NHS management in the future.”
