Confidence in the Department of Health’s leadership among its own staff has nosedived since the coalition took power, a new survey reveals.
The latest DH staff survey reveals that dwindling numbers of staff believe the department does a ‘good job’ in improving the country’s health, with only a third recommending it as ‘a great place to work’.
The poll, carried out in October 2011, reveals staff engagement has fallen since 2010, and shows a significant drop in several engagement indicators compared to 2009 when Labour ministers were in charge.
Only a third of DH staff feel the department is managed well, down 6% from last year and a 13% fall from 2009, while only a third have confidence in the decisions made by the department’s senior civil servants, down 3% from last year and an 11% drop from 2009 levels.
