GMB has responded to analysis by the Labour Party showing hundreds of ‘significant’ or ‘extreme’ risks to patient safety across NHS Trusts.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Officer, said:
“These shocking findings expose the desperate state of health funding as we approach winter and the second wave.
“Our healthcare heroes deserve better. That means safe staffing levels and a proper pay increase, not dangerous buildings and budgets that can't make ends meet.
“Years of underfunding have left NHS workers underpaid, overstretched and demoralised. “It's time for a full funding settlement that gives the NHS the resources it needs.”
