Dear Member,
There has been lots going on at Head Office over the past week!
GCC CONSULTATION ON DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
As mentioned in last week's News & Views the UCA has been preparing a response to the GCC's Consultation on Diagnostic Imaging. The consultation period ends next Friday 26th November 2021.
Our members have been in touch to say that they have found the consultation questions to be unclear, and not allowing the opportunity to express their own views. This week we wrote to the GCC and requested an extension of the deadline. This request was made on two grounds, firstly, we felt that the six week consultation period was an inadequate timeframe to respond to such an important issue, which requires careful consideration, expert evidence and the input of our members.
Secondly, an extension is required to allow us time to work with the GCC in re-wording the survey questions to ensure participants can openly communicate their views beyond the scope of the questions set out in the survey. The GCC have declined our request, and therefore the survey will need to be completed by 26th November 2021.
