The leader of the Royal College of Nursing, Prof Nicola Ranger, has stated that nurses are pushing for a 25% pay raise amidst dissatisfaction with a 2.8% offer from ministers. This reflects a significant drop in nurses' real earnings since 2010, prompting potential strike actions that could disrupt NHS services. The RCN congress in Liverpool could mobilize further discontent, echoing the successful actions of junior doctors who secured a 22% salary increase over two years. Ranger insists that restoring pay to its rightful value is essential for nurses' livelihoods and recruitment.
Nurses may strike again unless the government improves its 2.8% pay offer, demanding a 25% pay rise to restore lost earnings since 2010.
Prof Nicola Ranger emphasizes that nursing pay has fallen 25% in real terms since 2010 due to inflation and low rises, warranting a significant boost.
