NHS staff across Scotland are "angry" that talks on pay will not be reopened, according to a trade union.

A Unison survey of its members found 87% think the health service should consider a further pay award this year, and 72% say they are exhausted after work.

It also shows 80% say they are tired or very tired, and 30% of staff feel they are not getting adequate breaks.

The trade union has called on Scottish Health Secretary Jeane Freeman to reopen talks on this year's pay deal, particularly in light of the extra costs they have had, such as added childcare, travel and clothes-washing fees.

Willie Duffy, Unison Scotland's head of health, said: "Our survey shows the strength of feeling.

"NHS staff across Scotland are angry that Cabinet Secretary for Health Jeane Freeman has not agreed to reopen talks on NHS pay for 2020/21.

"We all welcomed our health secretary and First Minister clapping for our 'brilliant NHS workers'.

"But it's disappointing that the thanks appears to end at a round of applause, after Ms Freeman has not agreed to reopen talks on pay.

"This is after health workers received one of the lowest public sector pay awards in the country and staff have many extra costs to deal with.

"We hoped for better from the Scottish Government."

The poll received more than 7,000 responses in 24 hours.

NHS workers described having to buy their own PPE, facing extra costs with public transport shutting, as well as the increase in bills due to more laundry being done.

One told the trade union "clapping and banging pots and pans don't pay bills".

A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "The Covid-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on those working in our NHS, and we are hugely grateful for the extraordinary hard work, dedication, skill and commitment of all those working across Scotland's health and social care sectors during this emergency.

"We're committed to the fairest possible salary settlements for all staff, and have regular engagement with staff and unions, where all issues related to NHS staff terms and conditions can be discussed.

"During one of these recent meetings the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport confirmed with Unison officials that she has committed to working in partnership with trade unions to ensure the fairest possible deal is in place for the staff of NHS Scotland.

"We continue to take steps to support NHS staff at this time including by ensuring they have full access to enhanced overtime pay and that all staff working for NHS Scotland who are sick due to Covid-19, irrespective of their length of service, will receive sick leave on full pay until they have recovered from their illness for as long as they are contracted to NHS Scotland."
