Doogie
I agree we do have a choice, what I was trying to put across was that DH would have been expecting this result from the Radiographers union.
It would be a different story if either the RCN or Unison had returned No votes. Both of these unions have subscribed to AfC as it will benefit the majority of it's members i.e. nurses and PAM's.
The union ballots may just be token jester as isn't implementsation still a requirement for Foundation Trusts present and future? Therefore if unions reject, Trusts will have to implement if they want Foundation status. Not sure if this is still the case as it was in the DH documents for Trusts considering applying as first wave Foundation Trusts.
