Did the NHS in Scotland ever get their bonus payment of 500 pounds pro rata?
If individuals would like to clap by all means carry on but mind and wrap up for it | |||
"Personally I think the NHS should get the wage rise they deserve. I've worked all the way through it and I'm glad iv been in a position where I can get out the house and work. Plus I'm getting a backdated wage rise from April

"Not for me it's a pointless exercise unless you have an NHS worker or carer on your street. It's a much better show of respect if we all follow the lock down rules and try and stop the spread of this awful virus. " I couldn't agree more. Those who need to signal their virtue can carry on, I'll show my support and respect by following the rules. I find it more than a little patronising for our keyworkers to be treated like the staff at Grace Brothers as young Mr Grace waves his stick in the air and assures them "You've all done very well....". Thank those on the frontline by helping them fight for a living wage. That will be more of a tribute than pot banging. | |||
| |||
"Bollox, I for one don't want people clapping for me. " I know a few folk in various key roles that would agree with you. Most really appreciate the acknowledgement but would far rather see money and resources used effectively. For example my cousin is in the NHS and would rather see more nurses, hospital beds and pruning of excess management and so on. | |||

"It is a shame as it is well meant my many people but unfortunately it just seems a little empty to key workers when the reason this is happening again is because people aren't being sensible in the first place. Maybe if the people flouting the rules had to do a 12hr shift in the hospital sitting with a dying covid patient they may think twice about being such a twat "There’s that too | |||

"Of course we want these people to get pay rises & the £500 promised to them but the public can't give them that so all they want to do is show their appreciation in any small way they can. Since this all began many members of the public have made small gestures along with some businesses to NHS staff. I think no matter what way its done its always nice to be appreciated "Very true, I’ve seen companies,schools and just general members of the public give small donations to our hospital wards, food, treats, cards or clapping believe me it’s all appreciated x | |||

It's akin to those that praise soldiers for fighting for freedom they can't fight without all the other folk doing what they do. Im sure they would be happier with a fair days work for a fair days pay (I also think if they work on these wards they should be paid more for added risk) | |||

"Not a fan of the weekly clap and do not really agree with the £500 payments either as feel the money could be better spent." Sorry bluebell, I'm not a fan of it either, prefer the appreciation to be shown in a different manner as I posted earlier lol,but I could do with the money, the bills are still there | |||

Are you saying you should be entitled to the £500 ?"I really do not think carers/nurses should get the payment. It has been tough for us but also for all the others who have worked through the pandemic. | |||

"Can i just say that nursing has never been and never will be a good paid job. This people are aware of from the start but we chose to do it as want to care for others. We are no different from anyone else who goes to work." Exactly !! | |||
| |||
"Living near a care home we always did the clap for all key workers including the carers. Though I do hope they get the £500 payment the nhs staff and carers are supposed to get? Think it was January or February. I do think they need to look at pay rises also. I'm sure they appreciate it more than a clap. " They're getting the £500 this month. Tbh, a pay rise is worth more than a gesture of clapping on a Thursday. | |||
"Personally I think the NHS should get the wage rise they deserve. I've worked all the way through it and I'm glad iv been in a position where I can get out the house and work. Plus I'm getting a backdated wage rise from April

Great to see everyone getting recognised that needs to be though | |||

"I know of at least 3 nurses and 2 of care home staff who have continually flouted rules around restrictions when they have visited other areas, had house gatherings and BBQs. One of the nurses being my ex who flouted rules with a number of her colleagues. I dare say that these 5 “heroes” aren’t the only ones in these positions who do as they please while pleading woe is us." Totally agree...and they are the first in line for vaccination whilst flouting the rules. Well said Beefy. | |||

"We have been told we will get the £500 thank you paid in 3 lots to help staff who may also be on UC. It means they won't lose that financial help . Personally I find the clapping patronising. People should be paid better. To me it's still ludicrous that you could earn more making coffee in Costa than you would as a fully trained, registered and specialist support worker. I'm not saying that Costa staff should be paid less just that care staff should have gotten more" This is an option but not automatic, so it will be in the one payment unless you apply for it to be split | |||
"Snp aren't taxing it, Westminster is. Scotland don't have the powers to do that. If they paid extra to cover it they have to wait 2 years before Westminster returns the tax revenue to Scotland, Scotgov have made a gesture of recognition no more no less which is more than others have done. I have never, ever cried woe is me. NHS staff simply want a wage that reflects the level of responsibility and risk they manage, just like other professions. I'm responsible for just under 800 young peoples health and wellbeing yet I'm paid less that a supermarket manager and no, I'm not saying they get too much but I don't get a salary that reflects what I do. Yep I don't need to do it, I could walk away as many doctors and nurses have hence the shortages now but I don't just work for money so I'm staying however it doesn't stop me recognising the NHS is undervalued. Agree with another poster re board members and management structures. " Jeez!!!! Tax paid in Scotland goes to the Scottish Government tax raising powers are devolved!!! That why we pay 21% tax compared to 20% in the rest of the UK! Try a simple Google search on the subject. While you're at it search how the SNP have spent the 8.6Billion extra money they got???? | |||

"Getting the 500 pounds in Februarys wage

Yeah it is "You can thank the SNP for that. As I’ve said previously if the SNP really wanted to buy votes for £500 from NHS staff then they should have awarded around £625 to cover the shortfall that they’d lose in tax. But no, they want to create havoc and blame Westminster for something which Holyrood has full control over. | |||

"As a key worker within emergency services, and a massive supporter of the NHS, I disagree with the whole standing on your door virtue signalling thing. Not one person did it on my street last night. I think anyone who has had to work all the way through, go into houses where people have all sorts wrong with them, they want to attack you and care not a jot about your welfare, along with EVERYONE who has abided by the rules and tried to do their bit deserve more than a frying pan being knocked about for a minute. What reward I don’t know? But anytime I’ve seen folk standing lauding at their front doors before, it’s made me cringe. Sorry, just my opinion, each to their own. " Can you clarify , are you proud nobody done it on your street or are you complaining no one done this virtue signalling on your street. ? Now you claim you or whomever your relating your post to, they go through doors where people have all sorts of things wrong with them , if that's seen as a problem then the you or whoever your talking about is probably in the wrong job. !! Is it every door you or they go through that they get attacked or are you just highlighting one bad aspect of a very rewarding job, like most jobs they have good and bad aspects to them ? And then you say they want a reward , certainly not pan banging , then I would say if that's your attitude or whomever you refer to then I would say they get their reward every month , its called a wage and from what I know , a very good wage too. Feel free to leave the job or tell the person you speak of to leave if they feel their not getting a big enough 'reward' . Lastly if seeing the pot banging makes you cringe simply don't look at it or stay in your street where you will be most happy as not one person did it in your street as you said. | |||

Ambulance workers get attacked in their line of work, cops and fire fighters also, you’ll have to show me where the complaint was that I made there. I’m well aware of what I’m up against in my line of work, not once have I said I feel I’m in the wrong job. I never specifically said I want a reward, but surely folk, especially the NHS staff, deserve more than a pot being banged no? Sorry for sticking up for our health service workers there. And for your last piece of unwanted advice, if leaving the street was such an easy option, I’m quite sure it wouldn’t just be me that would feel like it. Does this ‘clarify’ your points?

Can you clarify , are you proud nobody done it on your street or are you complaining no one done this virtue signalling on your street. ? Now you claim you or whomever your relating your post to, they go through doors where people have all sorts of things wrong with them , if that's seen as a problem then the you or whoever your talking about is probably in the wrong job. !! Is it every door you or they go through that they get attacked or are you just highlighting one bad aspect of a very rewarding job, like most jobs they have good and bad aspects to them ? And then you say they want a reward , certainly not pan banging , then I would say if that's your attitude or whomever you refer to then I would say they get their reward every month , its called a wage and from what I know , a very good wage too. Feel free to leave the job or tell the person you speak of to leave if they feel their not getting a big enough 'reward' . Lastly if seeing the pot banging makes you cringe simply don't look at it or stay in your street where you will be most happy as not one person did it in your street as you said.
Am I proud no one done it On the street - yes.
Never made any complaints about anyone being in any job, just that some of us are in a far more likely position to be exposed to C-19. Ambulance workers get attacked in their line of work, cops and fire fighters also, you’ll have to show me where the complaint was that I made there. I’m well aware of what I’m up against in my line of work, not once have I said I feel I’m in the wrong job. I never specifically said I want a reward, but surely folk, especially the NHS staff, deserve more than a pot being banged no? Sorry for sticking up for our health service workers there.
And for your last piece of unwanted advice, if leaving the street was such an easy option, I’m quite sure it wouldn’t just be me that would feel like it.
Does this ‘clarify’ your points?
Thanks in advance. "Not really , you make complaints about working conditions of emergency services going into covid houses or being assaulted but that is the nature of the job. And they do get rewarded, paid for a job they enjoy no doubt. Anyway, I also said you should STAY in your street if you want to be happy and avoiding the pots and pan rattling. So no idea what people wanting to leave your street have to do with your reply here .
Oh and by the way , while your not banging pots and pans your certainly virtue signalling the NHS workers in the very nature of your last 2 posts. Surely by your own words they would rather a REAL reward as opposed you simply praising them with words of support . Kind of negates your very point about people showing their appreciation by pot banging don't you think. | |||

"Not even read comments but the the thing I’d love you all to do is, stay in your fuckn hoose and if you go out wear a mask. This shit ain’t going away and the amount of clapping pots banging helps no one. " Clapping and pots banging doesn't hurt anyone either though does it ? So wheres the harm in it really ? I bet your the type that also tells kids there's no santa. | |||

"Snp aren't taxing it, Westminster is. Scotland don't have the powers to do that. If they paid extra to cover it they have to wait 2 years before Westminster returns the tax revenue to Scotland, Scotgov have made a gesture of recognition no more no less which is more than others have done. I have never, ever cried woe is me. NHS staff simply want a wage that reflects the level of responsibility and risk they manage, just like other professions. I'm responsible for just under 800 young peoples health and wellbeing yet I'm paid less that a supermarket manager and no, I'm not saying they get too much but I don't get a salary that reflects what I do. Yep I don't need to do it, I could walk away as many doctors and nurses have hence the shortages now but I don't just work for money so I'm staying however it doesn't stop me recognising the NHS is undervalued. Agree with another poster re board members and management structures. Jeez!!!! Tax paid in Scotland goes to the Scottish Government tax raising powers are devolved!!! That why we pay 21% tax compared to 20% in the rest of the UK! Try a simple Google search on the subject. While you're at it search how the SNP have spent the 8.6Billion extra money they got????Theres no need to get agitated ....all those!!! Lol. Yes scotgov set tax levels but they do not have the power to authorise exemptions, you google it
Hardly agitated! But if the SG had really wanted £500 in our pockets, as I'll receive it too. The they could have quite easily paid everyone the extra tax on top, as it would be coming back to them anyway. Instead of making a statement that WM should not tax it. It was purely political posturing!
Yes and as I said, two years down the line which isn't feesable considering. The simplest solution would have been for BJ to allow the payment to be exempt from tax in the first place would it not? "Why on earth would this payment not be taxed? It may be classed as a bonus but it’s income and should be treated as such by HMRC. I can’t understand why it’s even a discussion point. | |||

Thanks for your concern over Santa though my kids are brought up the right way ...."Its needless to you personally and perhaps for many other key workers too, myself included .
But perhaps if it makes one person that is isolating feel they are doing something, no matter how small I ask you again , wheres the harm in it ?
Ps saying you bring your kids up the right way , does that mean you told them santa is real or not. 
Lastly , being on the front line does not give you special privileges to tell people what to do. Like all jobs, if your not happy you know what to do .

"As a social care worker and without being disrespectful to anyone, clap for heroes is all very well but is it right that carers receive mininum wage with responsibilities including monitoring our residents fluid & nutrition intake their health & personal safety & hygiene etc. A fair wage would mean so much more than clapping whixh many of us don't hear/see due to shift patterns." I'm pretty sure 99.9 % of those people clapping are not in a position to give you that wage rise. They are in a position to do what they think they can do for you . So because you can't get your wage rise and that feel appreciated money that's a good reason to say you don't want people to have that feel good factor they no doubt get from clapping. | |||

Sry never actually answered your question, No its certainly not right your on minimum wage. You do a job i could never do even if you paid me 10 times more than minimum wage. Genuinely I take my hat off to you and people like you. | |||
