Off sick, given 3 months notice

Joules22

Hi

I've been off sick with stress/work related mental health problems. My GP has always been supportive. I have been referred for counselling, but have not yet reached the top of the waiting list. Work now want to terminate my contract, giving me three months notice. I have a sick note for two months, but today the GP I saw (the other one left) said she couldn't keep giving me sick notes whilst I wait to be made redundant. I thought her attitude was a bit harsh, especially as I had been crying and saying I couldn't cope. Anyway, does anyone know if work give me three months notice, what happens if the GP won't give me another certificate for the last month? There's no way I could go back to work at present, although I'm hanging onto the fact that I should get counselling pretty soon. I work for the NHS and I'm going to take early retirement and perhaps go back to work part-time when I've had my counselling. Thanks.

Ask employer to reduce notice to 2 months.

Oh for the love of God.

I can't take much more of this.
