Unions demand ‘recovery road map’ for NHS workers
60 per cent of staff who contracted coronavirus said it had had a negative or severe impact on their mental health, GMB finds
THE government must provide a “recovery roadmap” for NHS workers, the GMB union has told the Prime Minister.
Ahead of Boris Johnson’s much-heralded “roadmap out of lockdown” speech today, the health workers’ union revealed that 60 per cent of staff who contracted coronavirus said it had had a negative or severe impact on their mental health.
In a survey of more than 3,000 health workers in roles across the NHS, 30 per cent said they had caught the coronavirus, with almost 60 per cent saying they had passed it to a family member.
