Furious health workers demonstrated outside Bristol Royal Infirmary over pay freeze
Furious health workers demonstrated outside Bristol Royal Infirmary yesterday against the government's refusal to grant a 1 per cent pay increase across the board.
Health union Unite organised the rally due to concern that pay freezes were part of a campaign to privatise the NHS.
