Give all nurses and health support staff the pay rise they have been entitled to
Increase the basic salary of a nurse to reflect the true rise they would have had if there had been no cuts to the NHS.
Health workers and nurses have been severely overworked for many years. Their pay is shockingly low however the pay of an MP rises far beyond what a nurse has in terms of percentage. The recent events in the world have highlighted just how much this country depends on these workers. They are not unskilled, they are essential and they deserve the pay rise denied them for so many years.
