Imran Hussain, MP for Bradford East, has demanded a "proper pay rise" for NHS workers
BRADFORD MP Imran Hussain has called on the Government to increase the pay of NHS workers to boost morale and tackle waiting times in Bradford’s hospitals.
Mr Hussain, who represents Bradford East for Labour, said that Bradford’s NHS staff are overworked and underpaid by the Government and that a significant pay rise would increase staff morale and improve treatment waiting times.
In March 2021 there were almost 30,000 people waiting for treatment at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with almost 9,000 waiting more than 18 weeks and more than 2,000 waiting more than 12 months, according to NHS data analysed by Unison.
