COVID changed us. It exposed our strength, but also left scars that many still bear in silence. To my fellow nurses: I see you. I stand with you. Let’s honour this day by caring for each other as fiercely as we did for our patients.

@MatthewIam22 This will include staff on all AfC bands employed by ‘non-NHS’ organisations

@Reuben_QN Nothing about domestic assistants then?…

@SteveBarclay staff at NHS Property Services whilst not on Annex 1 get a one off non-consolidated payment - good for them, what about those other non-Annex 1 NHS organisations you refuse to include, engage with or fund. This two tiered NHS must stop #NotNHSEnough

@SteveBarclay is this all health and social care, or is it just the bit you chose to pay non-consolidated bonuses for. #AskingForAFriend

@BethPitsone @ShinyBlackShoe @sotonDSN @theRCN @DHSCgovuk No it’s not, it’s a limited liability partnership

@Reuben_QN @ShinyBlackShoe @sotonDSN @theRCN @DHSCgovuk Isn’t the organisation you work for a community NHS trust?
