Responding to the government’s announcement on death in service benefits for NHS staff, Labour’s Shadow Health Minister Justin Madders MP said:

“It is welcome that the Government has listened to workforce representatives and ensured that death in service benefits are available to everyone working in the NHS and social care sector.

“Now the Government must finally get a grip over PPE supplies so that NHS and care staff aren’t putting their lives on the line to do their job and protect the rest of us.”
