The MMDNA has been taken over by HealthMark.

That means it’s gone from a not-for-profit association to a commercial, for profit, business run by the sharks at the Seabank Hotel.

That’s not the point, is it? It is that “HealthMark, the agency which has taken over the national health service operations of the MMDNA, has rung up the community midwives on the MMDNA payroll and demanded that they send in a letter of resignation.”

Moreover, such practice specifically goes against the “‘transfer of business’ regulations, which were devised precisely to protect employees in just this sort of situation.”

I think it is shocking that HealthMark is using the government’s abusive method of asking people to resign because it is illegal to sack them.

No, not the MMDNA, but HealthMark, the company which has taken over.
