Grip and control is all very well, but it does mean added pressure for staff already carrying out their dayto- day duties, according to a union representative.
Kevin McIntosh of the public sector trade union UNISON said at the IJB meeting: ‘My concern is for staff. ‘While recognising the need for and supporting all the recommendations, instructing off cers and service managers responsible for grip and control activities to get us on an even keel, I am wondering whether the staff in these service areas will have time to do this while carrying out these other savings measures and engaging with other staff members – all while carrying out their day job.
