Special Covid leave scrapped for NHS England staff
Special paid leave for Covid-related sickness and isolation will be scrapped next week for NHS staff in England, it has been announced. From 7 July staff will revert to normal contractual sick pay arrangements. The Royal College of Nursing said the decision was "Hugely disappointing" and indicated "How little" the government valued its staff. Patricia Marquis, RCN England director, called the decision "Hugely disappointing", adding that nursing staff face a higher risk of exposure and are therefore disproportionately affected. "Facing the threat of losing full sick pay should they remain off sick from a condition some could argue is an occupational hazard, is neglectful and unfair."It's another indication of how little the UK government values its nursing staff.
