NHS workers who have delivered for this country during Covid-19 have found themselves well and truly betrayed on pay.
Following the announcement that a pitiful 3 per cent pay offer will be imposed for some NHS workers, it is clear that this government is continuing to put a wrecking ball to the NHS.
Some might argue that 3 per cent is generous in this period of rising unemployment and the imposition of public-sector pay freezes. However, with NHS pensions contributions due to rise and inflation running out of control, 3 per cent represents a blatant attempt to further drive down pay in the NHS.
