Healthcare support workers at Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals allege they have not received the full wages promised following a new pay band agreement. The union Unison states that many employees have been paid thousands of pounds less, despite performing duties that warrant a higher salary band. Trust CEO Nick Hulme acknowledged the issue, citing discussions with the union and plans to rectify the situation. Some staff are reportedly owed over £4,000 in back pay, and Unison emphasizes the need to acknowledge the essential role of these workers in the NHS.
