Matt Hancock is pushing to increase statutory sick pay from £98.85 a week in a bid to create a healthier nation, it has emerged. The Health Secretary wants to help workers take time off if they are ill after previously admitting he could not live on the current rate of sick pay, The Times reports.  He argued increasing pay would help boost the economy by keeping people healthy while speaking at a meeting of the government’s Covid-operations committee this week But the move is thought to be opposed by the Treasury, who are concerned about the cost to employers.  This time last year the Government enacted legislation allowing people to claim statutory sick pay from the first day of illness rather than the previous fourth day in order to stop people coming into work when unwell at the start of the pandemic.
