Good morning,
Here at Basildon, our pathology department is merging with that of Southend and a private company. The Basildon staff, about 200 will be working for a new , non NHS organisation although will still be onsite. This is something which is
obviously going to happen more and more as services are outsourced to the private sector. We have been asked if they will still have access to library services. Our inclination, and that of our Education Director is that we should negotiate a contract for
educational services including the library, with the new company. Does anyone have any experience of this sort of situation and how have you resolved it?
Many thanks,
Liz Hunwick
