HUNDREDS of hospital workers will go on strike for two days at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Foundation Trust today in a “historic” action.

Unison launched its Fair Pay for Patient Care campaign to end healthcare support staff being paid less than they should be for their jobs in 2021.

But today’s walkout is the first time healthcare support staff in London have taken industrial action independently of the union’s national NHS dispute over the issue.
