Ask employers to continue paying those on sick leave waiting for operations.
Thousands of people in the UK like myself were already off from work on sick leave awaiting for urgent operations prior to covid 19. Now with all operations been cancelled due to covid 19 many people like myself are now facing nil pay shortly.
I am asking the UK to ask or force employers from all areas to continue paying those currently on sick leave but who cannot return in the normal period due to the covid 19 virus. By employers stopping the pay it leaves many now unable to pay vital bills and leaves them even more worried when they are already stressed and worried awaiting for medical treatment which has now been placed on hold with no dates yet as to when it will start again.
