Changes to Data Protection Regulations

Due to the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which came into force in April, the Branch is required to re-construct our communication strategies.

We can currently no longer send out blanket bulletins via the Trust email system, therefore we are in the process of re-evaluating this process in conjunction with our regional officers. The recent change to @nhs.net accounts has also had an effect and interrupted communication channels.

PTS &Thames Ambulance Service Ltd (TASL)

UNISON YAS Branch has always been concerned about the awarding of the Hull PTS contract into privately owned hands. The contract being awarded to TASL.

Throughout the process, and since, YAS UNISON representatives in the East region have consistently lobbied the CCG to return the contract to public sector ownership, after numerous issues have arisen. This campaign is building momentum and will continue pushing forward in a bid to return to the contract to YAS in order to provide the best care possible to the public of Hull for their Patient Transport Service.
