Campaigners say the former prince must face criminal probe
STAFF who process coronavirus tests at Glasgow’s Lighthouse Laboratory are missing out on the £500 bonus promised to healthcare staff, Scottish Labour has claimed today.
The lab at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital has been operational since April, processing thousands of tests per day.
Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard said its staff were told that they cannot receive the £500 payment because they are not directly employed by the NHS.
