GMB flags
MERSEYSIDE NHS staff who were sacked because they could not make an 80-mile round trip to new jobs have won redundancy payments after a campaign by their trade union.
More than 50 long-serving staff employed by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust lost their jobs when Calderstones Hospital at Whalley, near Blackburn, was closed.
The Trust proposed alternative jobs at Aspen Wood which is part of Broadgreen Hospital, which is 40 miles away.
