The Crystal Palace manager praised those making charitable contributions but says the NHS shouldn't rely on the generosity of individuals
Roy Hodgson has called on the UK government to provide more funding for the National Health Service, after Premier League footballers stepped in with the #PlayersTogether initiative to help support the NHS during the coronavirus crisis.
Hodgson says the pandemic has underlined the importance of healthcare staff, and believes thanks alone “will never be enough”.
In 2017, Conservative MPs including current Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak successfully voted against scrapping the one per cent pay-rise cap on public sector staff including NHS nurses.
