Tory MPs Call For NHS Staff To Get More Than Proposed 1% Pay Rise
Downing Street has refused to rule out giving health workers a one-off Covid bonus.
Tory MPs have urged ministers to think again and pay NHS staff more than the controversial proposed 1% pay rise.
More backbenchers broke cover on Monday to demand a rethink amid a backlash that has seen anger from unions and warnings of strikes by health workers in England.
It came as Downing Street refused to rule out giving NHS staff a one-off Covid bonus for their work battling the pandemic, which has stretched the health service to its limit.
