Under Section 21 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, all public bodies must establish and maintain procedures for the making of protected disclosures by workers who are or were employed by the public body and for dealing with such disclosures. As this protected disclosure relates to the HSE, I have referred your request to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
