Pay rise of 1% ‘adds insult to injury’, say staff at Pilgrim hospital, where Hancock’s grandmother was a nurse
Staff at a hospital where Matt Hancock’s grandmother worked as a nurse say they feel insulted by the government’s offer of a 1% pay rise after their work during the pandemic.
Last Friday the health secretary tried to deflect anger about the pay offer by saying he understood the hard work of nurses as his grandmother had worked at the Pilgrim hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire.
