Further to the answer given on 14 October 2015 to Question 11175, in June last year the Department and the Cabinet Office Mystery Shopper scheme carried out spot checks with a number of trusts to find out the level of take up of the new NHS Terms and Conditions. The results showed 90% of the trusts contacted confirmed they were using (or intended to use) the new sets of NHS Terms and Conditions.
