A HUGE majority of NHS staff feel that the government does not value their extraordinary efforts in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, a Unison survey showed today.
Many of the 10,000 staff consulted are considering leaving the health service as they struggle to cope with the strain in overwhelmed hospitals.
Unison has submitted the findings to the NHS Pay Review Body, with the union calling on the government to give all NHS workers a pay rise of at least £2,000.
