TENS of thousands of NHS staff suffering Long Covid have had their sick pay cut in half.

Until last month heroes struck down by the virus got full wages regardless of how long they were off.

But from September the Government ruled those ill more than six months will be on half pay.

Around 60,000 NHS staff are still suffering crippling symptoms, according to official figures.

A consultant at an NHS trust in the South told us the move made her feel “chucked on the rubbish tip”.
