How preposterous. On November 28, we see reported in the press: ‘NHS Highland’s board chairman David Alston said: “It is important that we apologise sincerely to anyone who has experience of bullying past or present”.’
Yet back in July 2018, in regard to the GMB union’s stance on an independent report suggesting endemic bullying within NHS Highland, we see him quoted as follows: ‘I am afraid comments like that are just gossip.’ There is no better example of how bullying and opportunistic survivalism became a managerial modus operandi within NHS Highland. Is the current chairman’s position tenable?
