Health workers stage work to rule

Health workers are to hold a day of action across the UK in protest at a "derisory" three-year pay deal worth around 8%.

Unite said the work to rule will include a ban on non-essential paperwork, email exchanges, attendance at meetings and telephone calls, affecting hospitals and health centres.

The union is calling on the Government to re-open negotiations over the pay of NHS workers, who face years of below-inflation wage rises.
