I wonder how this is 'policed'?
If its by applicants having an NHS employee number plenty of people having absolutely key positions supporting the NHS may miss out on this?
E.g. a close relative of mine works in a hospital sorting out prescriptions for all the NHS patients within the in-house pharmacy. But as she's, now, employed by a third party company rather than the NHS she maybe wouldn't be eligible for this.
Presumably, she's less worthy, than the many health staff who seek advice from her, within 'her pharmacy' on a daily basis for the patients.
It's a different thread but, whilst recognising what an absolutely amazing job most of our NHS staff do, we do need to value lots, lots more peoples roles, who are critical to society, too.
"You must be aged 16 or over, a UK resident for tax purposes and employed directly by the National Health Service (the “NHS”) to open and operate this Account. You will need to present your NHS staff ID card in order to evidence eligibility for this account."By country, the NHS directly employs around:
- 1.2 million staff in England
- 162,000 staff in Scotland
- 89,000 staff in Wales
- 64,000 staff in Northern Ireland
"This includes those directly employed on a salary, contractors, trainees and agency staff"
What about other key workers who have also had to work during the pandemic, but have had to wait outside supermarkets because 'NHS' staff have had priority, even thought he majority of 'NHS' staff during the pandemic have been sat with their feet up due to a lack of work?
If they're contractors or agency, they're quite obviously not directly employed - the post you quote is referring to people who can report fraud, not defining people who are directly employed.I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?2 -

My 1st direct reg saver matured a week ago today and it's only just turned into a savings account this morning. I know it says up to 5 working days but that is frustratingly slow for a massive bank! Having said that, I've just opened a new one because I'm convinced this 2.75% rate surely can't stick around for long.0

The account is listed under Everyday Savings Accounts instead of Regular Saver Accounts for some reason:

Virgin Money has just released Regular E-Saver Issue 19, replacing Issue 18. The new Issue 19 pays 1.00% fixed, and closely resembles Issue 18 other than its maturity date being two months later.13

https://www.thenottingham.com/~/media/files/savings/forms and documents/savings-terms-march-19-lit3117.pdf?la=enIf we materially decrease an interest rate to your disadvantage, we will notify you in writing 14 days in advance of the change.You will be given 30 days from the date of this notification to close or switch your account without notice or penalty.We will define a decrease to an interest rate as ‘material’ if it reduces more than the Bank of England Base RateSo I've emailed to ask if my assumption is correct, and if so what the early closure process is. .
Any response from NBS please @bubieyehyeh
