Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] HR and Confidentiality
Dear list
I work for a very large Local Gov Organisation and our Human Resources
division
- of which OHS is part - proposes to restructure its administrative
support
services. The proposal is that there will be one "professional support
service"
supporting all areas of HR and that no area shall retain its own
dedicated
administrative support. Our argument - that we must retain dedicated
support
staff due to medical confidentiality is falling on deaf ears, with
management
asserting that all HR work is confidential and staff merely need to
sign a
confidentiality agreement re OHS. We continue to "build the case
against" but
can anyone direct us to explicit guidance on this point. (RCN, FoM ect
merely
refer to the need to maintain confidentiality).
Has anyone else faced this prospect and, if so, what evidence did you
use to
counter it? Alternatively, is anyone working with such an arrangement
and, if
so, what measures have been instituted to ensure the confidentiality of
medical
information is maintained?
regards
Andy Sidle
