  • Nurses have rejected the Government’s pay award of a 5.5% rise, it has been announced.
    Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in England rejected the deal by two-thirds in a record high turnout of around 145,000.
    The pay award was announced by the Chancellor at the end of July, shortly after Labour won the general election.
    Mike says: "This looks like a snub to the Labour government".

    Agency work offers flexibility you choose to do a shift when you can. The NHS needs an "agency" of its own. Its not just pay.

    The NHS has more than enough money, according to 2 Trust head accountants I knew, it is wasted and syphoned off into senior staffs pockets.

      I'm sorry you are wrong some parts of the NHS are getting cut on cut year on year to their budgets which means staff don't get replaced so more work gets piled on existing staff higher sickness due to stress training is not up to scratch they have even made staff redundant in some areas

      Unfortunately you are not aware of the corruption that has and is taking place high up in Trusts, this is why there are cuts further down. I know of too many examples which both saddens and annoys me.

    The higher the pay rises in public sector the more others want the same hence junior doctors 22% nurses 5.5% isn’t ever going to be accepted Just wait till railways are nationalised

      @michelles2299 3 дня назад

      If the docs get 22% why are nurses getting 5.5? It's not acceptable nurses often do prescribing and there are nurse practitioners which do some work for GPs

    The government dictate NHS nurses salaries. Its clealy not enough so the nurses leave to work for agencies only to be employed back the NHS via the agency. We waste 10 billion on agency nurses (2.8 billion would be if we gave nurses a 19% payrise). So the government are spending more money by not giving us the payrises.

      There is and has been for years a shortage of nurses in the UK the gov messed it up they stopped offering free NHS nurse training and made it a university course so to get into nursing students end up in debt why would you train for a job that's not well paid end up with student loans when there are better paid professional roles after uni

    Would the presenter of this show do the job for £30,000? No chance. But would he do the same job for £300,000? Probably.
    Why is he holding nurses to this standard as if we dont want more money? If the job is unpleasant, obviously you need to increase the pay to get people to do it

    Since 2014 my pay as a self employed person has not increased. Customers can not afford it. I’d rather have a full diary of loyal customers than a part time diary. It’s about everyone helping each other out. Are nhs workers really prepared to only deal with emergencies coz nurses won’t work for a reasonable wage? I’d wager that always working at emergency level is far more stressful than doing your rounds on a ward and prevention. £30,000 is a good wage. It’s not what you earn that’s important, it’s what you spend.
