Midlands & Lancashire CSU is the provider of human resources (HR) services to NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). This organisation was established on 1 April 2020 as the result of a merger of four CCGs that had HR services provided by MLCSU.
Action
As part of the merger programme, our HR team successfully:
* ran an assessment centre for the appointment of a single Accountable Officer
* led the HR elements of appointing a single Executive Team
* led the HR elements of appointing a single Governing Body and single group of clinical leads
* provided HR advice and support in relation to restructuring, including formal consultations and handling displaced staff
* led the TUPE transfer of approximately 300 staff into the new CCG
* worked with the payroll provider to merge four Electronic Staff Record (ESR) Virtual Private Databases (VPD) into one single VPD, transferring all staff and their records whilst ensuring that they continued to be paid correctly.
Impact
NHS Cheshire CCG was successfully established on 1 April 2020, with the HR elements being led by MLCSU.
