A nurse with 28 years of NHS service says she was “sacked” because she is unlikely to recover from the Covid she caught at work.
Brenda Eadie says she has been cast aside and told to contact the benefits office, without any word on her NHS pension, four weeks befor Christmas. She said: “I feel like a Crunchie wrapper, they have had all the good part of me and now the rest is being thrown out.”
Jackie Baillie, Labour’s health spokeswoman, said: “This is an appalling way to treat someone who has dedicated the best part of her working life to the NHS. They should have sorted out her pension and not left her to rely on benefits when she is ill with long Covid.
