The government has spent £10bn on contracts to private companies such as Serco to run “test and trace” and most recently awarded a new £347m C-19 testing contract to Randox. 15bn spent on faulty PPE. Yet they ignore healthcare workers and the 20% real terms cut

6.2bn was spent on agency and bank staff last year. This is to cover all the staff shortages. Nearly £70m was spent on agency nurses last year to keep the Welsh NHS running - the highest amount on record

The average nurse in the UK has lost 20% of income in the last 10 years It’s not surprising that there are 100,000 vacancies within our NHS. And that many of us are using food banks to get by. A survey showed that 36% of nurses were thinking of leaving the profession

Noa there add more than 640 health and social care workers have died from the virus during the first peak ,Tory ministers heaped praise on our heroes and joined the weekly clapping but have yet to adress the mental impact this has on staff. Or even begin to talk about a restorative pay increase
