title: Maternity rights. Watered down.
abstract: In line with the changes to statutory maternity leave and pay, introduced in October, the General Whitley Council has issued new arrangements for NHS staff. The HVA believes that the revisions to section six of the GWC handbook sell women short, and in some instances offer them less than the statutory minimum. Kate Bennett outlines the shortcomings, and highlights the key issues for local bargaining.
