Review how the sickness policy is applied in the NHS for long term conditions.
Review how the sickness is used an applied to NHS staff suffering from long term, chronic conditions, such as mental health conditions.
It seems highly unfair at how many staff members within the NHS, get penalised for being off work sick because of a long term, chronic health condition, such as depression and anxiety, asthma, neurological concerns and how it is completely out of sync with times now. The current sickness policy only seems to work for intermittent sickness, but even then doesn't always work, and people seem to be able to get away with no disciplinary action.
