Say no to bullying of NHS staff Treatment of striking NHS staff This helps to explain the treatment of NHS workers on strike in Gloucestershire in recent months.  A small but mighty group of workers have been on strike since...

I just learnt that over ยฃ100,000 of NHS funds have been wasted on defending bullying instead of paying frontline staff fairly.
