Staff consultation and engagement

We are committed to the process of consultation being meaningful.

Formal consultation started on 15 February for a period of 30 calendar days.

The launch presentation was not intended to answer individual questions. There will be opportunities for individual consultation meetings where questions can be raised.

Representatives from both employers were in attendance to answer your questions.

TUPE is a formal process and there will be certain standard letters that you will receive about the process.

There is certain information that we are required to share by law with the new organisation about staff who are transferring, details of which will be shared with you.

We will answer questions we receive during the process and these will be posted on this page on YourSpace.

The email address to send any questions to is CHC.Tupe@merseycare.nhs.uk

You can request an individual consultation meeting via CHC.Tupe@merseycare.nhs.uk if you feel you require one. 

Check the this YourSpace page as information will be regularly updated.

Speak to your staff side representative – staff side are the formal mechanism for consultation so can raise issues or concerns on your behalf
