Ask a question to Alan Johnson: NHS staff
“As a member of NHS staff for nearly 40 years I think it’s important that all NHS staff have the opportunity to have their say on the development of the service. I want to ask Alan Johnson about his plans for services for children and families, as well as plans to develop nursing in hospitals. Join me in making your voice heard so we can work together to build a stronger NHS.”
Sarah Beeson MBE, Health Visitor, Stafford.
Sarah will be putting NHS staff questions to Alan Johnson in a web chat in July. Submit your question below.
