A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS COMMENTED ON THEIR ROTA.

We have had over 500 responses, we discussed these results with the CEO and Director of Operations on the 12th March 2026. We have reached a position with the trust that where there is not clear agreement on rotas these will be paused until July 2026 to allow an agreement to be reached… this is all based on your valuable feedback … despite the opinion of the trust that agreements have been reached in 85% of all rotas … our data …. your data paints a very different picture.

We provided evidence the trust could not ignore … this was a meeting with Senior GMB officials and the CEO/ Director of Operations only … Unison were not involved in this meeting.

Reps will be contacting managers in areas where issues have been identified to see how the rotas have been arrived at.

The balloting process still continues … negotiations are ongoing …. In the meantime …keep the faith.
