About 300 of Scotland’s lowest-paid NHS workers are still waiting for promised salary increases and back pay.
Porters, domestics, cleaners, housekeeping and security staff are among staff at University Hospital Hairmyres, in East Kilbride, who were expecting their pay rise last month. They were also expecting three months’ back payments in the same wage packet.
The key support services are run on behalf of NHS Lanarkshire by ISS UK – a facility management company part of multi-national ISS World. The company, founded in Denmark more than 100 years ago, announced profits of about £244million last year.
