Staff who risked their lives working in hospitals during the pandemic still haven't been given the COVID bonus awarded to NHS staff last year .
Sky News surveyed outsourcing companies which employ cleaners, porters and caterers within the NHS and found while some have paid their staff the 1,600 award.
Unions say this is symptomatic of how staff in hospitals are losing their rights.
Department of Health and Social Care says it provided funding for over 27,000 staff in non-NHS organisations to receive the bonus.
But thousands still didn't qualify under the terms of their contracts.
Independent organisations providing NHS services are responsible for their own terms and conditions of employment.
