Stop the ban on nurses from working agency if already working for the NHS.
This week, the nurses were greeted with news that there would be a restriction on trusts employing agency nurses whose main employment is in their own trust or another NHS trust.
This was done without consultation and restricts nurses from being able to work in a way that suits them.
Nurses have already been left with a cap on pay rises at 1% which has left nurses with a pay cut of 14% if based on real terms with the cost of living.
Many nurses are going to be faced with sticking to low pay bank rates or leaving the jobs the security of working for a trust and becoming full time agency.
The RCN has stated that nurses “should not work bank hours for pay less than their substantive grade”. Some nurses are seeing a £7.50/hour cut when working bank hours.
