‘Healthcare workers should receive £500 payment before Christmas’

SINN Féin’s Ciara Ferguson has said independent health staff should receive the £500 recognition payment without any more delay.

Speaking after Health Minister indicated that workers could receive the payments before Christmas, the Foyle MLA said:

“Independent health workers should receive the £500 recognition payment without any more delay.

“I welcome an indication from the health minister that workers could receive this payment before Christmas – this must happen.

“Workers are frustrated that the details of the hours they worked were only requested from employers nine months after the scheme was announced.”
