The Welsh Government has announced that they will fund a second bonus payment to NHS and social care staff to recognise their extraordinary contribution during the pandemic. This is in addition to the £500 payment announced last year.
It is anticipated that the amount will be equivalent to £735 and is intended to cover tax and national insurance so that, after deductions, most staff will receive £500.
Further details on the scheme are expected.
