Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the current sick pay policy for NHS staff with long covid.
This question was answered on 21st December 2022
There are no current plans to make a specific assessment. The temporary non-contractual COVID-19 guidance in place during the pandemic has been withdrawn. Staff who received COVID-19 sickness pay have returned to the usual National Health Service terms and conditions, of up to six months full pay and six months half pay, depending on length of service.
