The flogging will continue until morale improves

I applaud the Peninsula Community Health CIC for having the confidence to publish its board minutes. It looks as if January's meeting, which heard the outline results of a staff survey, might have raised a few eyebrows. On page 7:
"Paul Masters was keen to ensure we feedback to our staff on "you said, we did". He expressed his concern about those who reported having received physical violence from their manager."
I have asked for more details.
UPDATE: Many thanks to PCH chief exec Kevin Baber for returning my call, almost immediately, to explain. The physical violence flagged in the staff survey was 1% of all responses, in line with NHS staff surveys nationally. The survey was anonymous so he has no further details. There was one incident of violence in the past year, which was reported to management, which resulted in disciplinary action.
