Liverpool's main hospital trust has announced that it will bring 670 staff at its Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen sites in-house, with improved terms and conditions.
Staff working in hotel services, including cleaning, portering and catering roles, will be transferred into NHS employment when the Trust’s existing contract comes to an end this year. These roles are successfully delivered in-house at the Trust’s other sites.
The move follows competitive market testing and honours a previous commitment by the Trust’s Board to review outsourced services when contracts come up for renewal and bring services in house, providing that doing so delivers best value for money.
