Don’t know.
 

Yes.

Anyone who works hard deserves more.

 

as for the prices Gareth posted, I don’t think they show a true picture of what nurses do earn as it doesn’t take into account shift pay etc. plus I think any nurse who knows how to play the system does the minimum amount of contracted hours then makes up the extra as bank staff, again more toot. Can only speak from experience but someone once close to me was certainly bringing home in excess of 40k a year

Think it's a bit like the railway stuff, yes but it's got to start at the very bottom of the scales. That list doesn't include the antisocial or overtime payments.

 

I was trying to not throw the grenade in to start the discussion.

The more I hear about things the less supportive I become, as the strikers also include office staff who get the same pay grades as nurses.

 

It's not because I feel those at the bottom end don't deserve a pay rise because they definitely do, but the spokespersons for the unions get very conflated on the reasons and the solutions.

Unfortunately we are all having to get by on less these days

The worst thing is the NHS hospitals appointing/creating managerial positions like it's going out of fashion at exorbitant salaries circa £200k.

 

Asking for 19% was never going to go well.

It's not just management that needs a clear out, it's also the locum and temporary staff bs. Was it 5k a day in a paper the other day ?.

 

Same with a return to central purchasing, bulk buying none of this charging different people different rates.

 

They have enough money, but fail to use it wisely.
