Mr Leonard said: “Nurses and NHS workers deserved our praise and thanks during the COVID-19 pandemic, but those claps don't pay the bills. They need a pay rise that at least matches the rise in the cost of living.
"All nurses and health workers in Scotland who have voted for strikes over pay cuts and are campaigning to protect our NHS all have my 100 per cent backing."
