NHS STAFF: STRESSED OUT,

TOO FEW, UNDERPAID

Throughout the pandemic NHS staff, as usual, have worked tirelessly:

  • Many to the point of complete burn-out
  • Many hundreds of doctors, nurses, admin staff, midwifes, cleaners, care workers, radiographers … have died from covid and many more have had covid-related conditions
  • Now, NHS staff face the longest waiting lists in NHS history. This means even more endless exhausting work
  • The NHS is short of staff at all levels: a shortage of 40,000 nurses. And a shortage of GPs, specialist doctors, radiographers …
  • And for all their work, the Government is offering only a 3% pay rise … well below inflation!

To support our NHS and its staff, we demand, from the Government:

  • A proper workforce plan – and that means now!
  • An immediate recruitment, retention and training programme so that staff can work safely and patient needs can be met in a timely way
  • A proper payrise NOW

 

Join us at Lyric Square, Hammersmith on Saturday 26th Feb. 11.30-1.00.
