My Sister became a Nurse at age 16 (a Cadet Nurse as they were called then). That was in 1967. She’s 71 now, and still working as an NHS nurse. People like her, with their dedication to duty & caring for others is priceless but nursing salaries have dropped to a level 20.54% below the value they were when the Tories came to power in 2010.
We call it disaster capitalism. Admittedly it’s impressive that they create the disaster. Political evolution.

Tories are excellent at allowing things to break down to a crisis, in order to justify bringing in their awful policies. NHS to be sold off, strikes therefore new legislation preventing strikes, climate crisis to new coal mine, oh, and the fantastic #PPEscandal

It's taken two years for it to come to light, with Michelle Mone's involvement coming under scrutiny. 😲
But there is still a missing link...can we find it? 🤔
Here are my thoughts... ⬇️

Well said RCN’s @patcullen9 -
- one proposed day of action by nurses didn’t create the 7.2 MILLION people on #NHS waiting lists
- UK nurses are the lowest paid in Europe
- nurses arent greedy. They just want to make ends meet.
