WORKING TOGETHER FOR SAFE HEALTH SERVICES
The Health and Safety Executive and the General Medical Council today signed a Memorandum of Understanding which codifies their commitment to working together in the interests of patients and everyone involved in delivering health services. The MoU is an agreed framework for co-operation and collaboration between the two bodies, both of which have statutory duties to protect the well-being of the community. The Memorandum sets out the respective roles and responsibilities of the organisations and establishes a mechanism for sharing intelligence and expertise on general approaches and intitiatives as well as on specific inquiries. In a joint statement, Timothy Walker, Director General of the Health and Safety Executive and Finlay Scott, Chief Executive of the GMC, said: 'The clarity and transparency of our respective roles and responsibilities are crucial to the safety and well-being of those who are affected. This agreement should ensure effective partnerships between our organisations.'
