Recognize the efforts of all NHS bank staff and give them the lump sum payment.

The government's decision fail to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of bank staff, many of whom were previously substantive staff. Denying them the non-consolidated lump sum payment feels like a betrayal of their loyalty and dedication. This raises concerns about fairness in the pay rise allocation. I respectfully urge the government to reconsider and ensure that the pay rise is fair and inclusive, recognizing the contributions of bank staff who have served as substantive staff.
