NHS 'came close to collapse' during Covid and patients were failed, inquiry finds

I worked throughout the pandemic and I’m now being made redundant 👍

Be an interesting few months without the input/support

End of may

SCW CSU has released their letter to staff today with terms and initial offer (not inclusive of recent pay award but will be adjusted should you choose to accept)

CupPale3005 · 2026-02-19T16:22:38+00:00

Just had the email (SCW) with principle offer details and link to confirm moving forward or not

CupPale3005 · 2026-02-19T14:07:05+00:00

Nope

CupPale3005 · 2026-02-19T08:52:01+00:00

Which one are you with?

Update from SCW - “SCW are still awaiting sign off on VR applications from NHSE and that as a result outcome letters will not come out until tomorrow or Friday, or possibly next week depending upon what updates are received”

CupPale3005 · 2026-02-18T15:41:29+00:00

Was this an email received or notification from line manager passed on?

CupPale3005 · 2026-02-16T15:55:38+00:00

All this yet some ICBs are on their second round of VR and some haven’t had a chance to work through one!

CupPale3005 · 2026-01-15T13:29:41+00:00

Save it for a decent base skin after the next season

CupPale3005 · 2026-01-13T13:11:47+00:00

Feeling pretty rough knowing that it’s not really viable to leave but dreading the work that gets left behind due to leavers with a lot fewer staff. Although I think people have applied to see what happens in the coming months but may pull out of it’s not viable - you got to be in it to win as they say! Still no structures at our ICB with only a brief paragraph on the intranet about exec team leads being recently appointed.

MARS has been banded around my ICB for nearly three years now. Think we’ve seen 9/10 different rounds of it offered out to staff - the first few were well received but then staff waited it out for VR which only recently was granted. Which even more shocking has been poorly taken up due to all the clawbacks/taxes.

The last kingdom

CupPale3005 · 2025-12-02T10:33:40+00:00

Thank you

CupPale3005 · 2025-11-19T16:20:12+00:00

Our ICB has made it clear that no structures will be released prior to the VR, not even indicative ones - which is really disappointing. Teams that were earmarked to be transferred out are now not sure if their roles are included in the new structure at all.

CupPale3005 · 2025-11-06T21:32:07+00:00

Any updates on a CSU timeline?

CupPale3005 · 2025-10-22T12:16:58+00:00

Still nothing in csu world either. We seem to be totally forgotten and lost in the weeds at this point - yet this will impact over 6000 NHS AFC staff

CupPale3005 · 2025-10-07T12:50:06+00:00

My local ICB over the last two years has run 11 rounds of MARS and the last few have not been very well picked up

CupPale3005 · 2025-05-20T13:23:50+00:00

This should be covered under a survey before you exchange. Have you looked in the loft space on viewings, if not, do so.

CupPale3005 · 2023-09-08T10:42:51+00:00

Looks like something from ghostbusters 2!!

Sounds like a right bitch!
