Article summary

The Government launched a consultation which considers introducing minimum service level (MSL) regulations that would require some doctors and nurses to work during strikes, in order to protect patient safety. The consultation considers introducing MSLs that would cover urgent, emergency and time-critical hospital-based health services—which could cover hospital staff including nurses and doctors—and seeks views on a set of principles for setting MSLs in regulations. It also seeks evidence to inform decisions on the expansion and scope of MSLs.
