@parcelforce why do you make it so difficult to arrange redelivery of a parcel? Your IT doesn’t seem to work and must be costing you money trying to deliver parcels when people are out! 🤯🙄

@GMB @kategarraway @edballs @JonAshworth Resident doctors feel government has reneged on last year’s deal in many ways and whilst safe services were seemingly maintained over recent strike, it was at great cost, both financially and in reduced elective productivity.
