Thousands of NHS workers are not paid enough to live on, new figures have revealed, as employers have been urged to fulfil their “moral” duty to pay staff a living wage.
Figures from the Living Wage Foundation shared exclusively with The Independent, show just 24 NHS trusts out of 219 are accredited real living wage employers, meaning that they offer all staff at least £10.90 an hour. In London, just 13 of the city’s 34 NHS trusts are accredited.
