AMBULANCE workers in the West Midlands have won the right to full sick pay while self-isolating after a GMB campaign.
Official NHS guidance states that staff should be paid in full, including average overtime, while off work to avoid transmitting coronavirus.
But until now, workers at West Midlands Ambulance Service had to scrape by on limited sick pay during periods of self-isolation. They will now receive an average of their overtime earnings as well.
Payments will be backdated to the start of the pandemic in February 2020 after a fightback by members of the general union.

A MAN “in his 30s” was taken to hospital following “a medical emergency” that saw hazardous area response and an air ambulance deployed to Selborne Road, Worcester, yesterday. At least four ambulance vehicles and a helicopter attended the scene, including West Midlands Ambulance Service’s Hazardous Area Response Team (HART). HART paramedics are specifically trained and equipped to work in hazardous areas where traditionally it would be unsafe to, including behind police cordons, chemical incidents, widespread flooding, complex road traffic accidents and patients injured or ill in hazardous environments. The updates come after a police forensics van was seen parked near the scene yesterday afternoon (Sunday, March 7).
