27,000 non-NHS healthcare workers to receive one-off £3,000 payments, per Department of Health and Social Care.

27,000 healthcare workers to receive up to £3,000 payments, says Department of Health and Social Care. Workers from non-NHS organisations, including community nurses, sexual health staff, speech-and-language therapists, and physiotherapists, will receive the one-off payments as part of the wider NHS pay deal. These payments aim to recognise the vital role of healthcare workers at social enterprises, charities, private providers, and local authorities.
