NHS: Secondment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance his Department has published on how medical research charities and trusts can reclaim staff costs for employees seconded to the NHS during the covid-19 outbreak.

Answer

Officials, working with NHS England and NHS Improvement, with input from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Association of Medical Research Charities, are drafting guidance on the process by which non-National Health Service organisations that have loaned/redeployed research staff that they employ to the NHS will be able to recover relevant costs. This will apply to research staff funded by research funders including the National Institute for Health Research, UKRI, and charities and will be published shortly.
