Six in ten back pay rise for nurses, poll finds
The move would be a decisive break with government public-sector pay policy which has seen nursing staff receive multiple below-inflation pay awards since 2010/11. It comes as Royal College of Nursing leader Professorwarns the Government not to take nursing staff for fools after a pay offer failed to arrive in time for the new financial year.
The polling shows all age groups, social grades, genders, and regions of England back an above-inflation pay rise for nursing staff, indicating a desire for ministers to avoid delivering nursing staff yet another real-terms pay cut. The respondents also raised serious concerns about the impact of nursing shortages on patient safety with 72 per cent agreeing that “there are too few nurses to provide safe care for patients”.
In its submission to the Pay Review Body, the RCN demanded a “substantial and above inflation pay rise”. The College has also demanded a lump sum worth “several thousand pounds” to help recruit and retain nursing staff in England’s NHS. Both measures enjoy majority support from the public according to the polling by YouGov.According to analysis by London Economics, the typical, experienced nurse has seen their pay fall 25 per cent in real terms since 2010/11.
Ms Cullen said: “The public trusts our profession more than any other and they overwhelmingly agree that nursing staff deserve a proper pay rise. Ministers who claim to be committed to the public’s priorities should now act upon them.
