The Trust Board of Directors want to thank you once again for your commitment and dedication to supporting us to care for our patients and service users in what continues to be extremely difficult circumstances during the pandemic.

  • Colleagues who are off due to long term sickness absence
  • People on maternity leave, adoption leave and parental leave
  • Hospital managers who have completed 69 hours per month (same as bank workers)
  • Colleagues who left but returned straight away as bank staff but must meet the bank criteria stated above
  • Volunteers who have completed 69 hours per month (same as bank workers)
  • Staff on secondment in to Mersey Care and worked between the dates above.

Those not in scope to receive the vouchers are:

  • Substantive colleagues and bank workers who do not meet the criteria above
