据英国《每日邮报》26日报道，英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）给下辖的医院设置了一个招聘要求：若招聘了白人，则负责人需要说明这名白人在哪些方面比其他少数族裔应聘者更胜任这一职位，但反之则不需要任何说明。这一项做法也引发了外国网友激烈的讨论。
NHS bosses are forcing interview panels to explain why they have hired a white person over someone from an ethnic minority, the Daily Mail can reveal.
A policy at the Royal Free in north London requires staff to compile reports justifying why the successful candidate was deemed 'more suitable'. They must write to the trust's chief executive with evidence on how they scored the non-white applicant and come up with suggestions on how the candidate can improve for next time.
It has been in place at Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust since July 2018 for staff in senior positions, but was expanded in recent months to any role within the trust.
They must also provide 'justification' as to why any ethnic minority candidate was not chosen and provide detailed 'scoring notes' as evidence. Alongside this, they are required to suggest how the failed applicants can 'develop their experience, skills, or amplitude' for a better chance next time.
The report must then be sent to the trust’s chief executive, Caroline Clarke, within ten working days. Failure to do so sees them named and shamed in the trust’s monthly Workforce Race Equality progress report.
A senior source at the hospital said: 'It feels like a tick-box exercise. When we discuss who the best applicant was after the interview, it’s not about their ethnicity……So justifying your decision based on where they might be from does take a lot of time because you have to revaluate your decision from a completely different perspective, based on race rather than ability.'
“如果你不得不在已经很忙的情况下，再去雇佣一个白人，你真的想再写一份报告来证明这一点吗？这显然是对白人的反向歧视。”
“这是官僚主义的行话......只要花点时间想一想，有多少宝贵的时间被用来写不必要的报告，而不是去照顾病人！这就是为什么NHS正在崩溃。难怪国家医疗服务系统正在崩溃！”
“只要是合适的人得到这份工作，我不认为这有什么问题。无论背景或肤色如何，使用这种方法通常是一种良好的选择做法。只要面试官和组织是公平和包容的，那么有什么可隐瞒的呢？”
“我同意报告不应该是官僚主义的，然而我认同说明一个人为什么得到一个职位是好的做法。这就是我的观点。但是如果国家卫生系统只对非白人申请者适用，或者使录用过程过于困难，那么这就存在问题。”
