'It’s not like there’s not going to be any nurses around'
A nurse going on strike at a Greater Manchester hospital this weekend has slammed the pay for her profession — claiming she could earn a similar amount at a budget supermarket without the same level of stress.
“Unfortunately a lot of people and a lot of my colleagues voted to reject the offer because there’s a massive link between fair pay for nurses and patient safety,” she told the Manchester Evening News. “At the moment, it’s not attractive enough for people to come to the job. He told BBC Breakfast: “We have 120,000-plus of vacancies in the health service. We have been waiting for years for a proper funded workforce plan, so even when these strikes are over, we still have very serious issues of recruitment, retention and of motivation in our health and care system.”
“If this industrial action were to roll on into the summer then it would make it almost impossible for us to meet the targets that we have, in backlog and other areas of patient care.” “A lot of nursing shifts will be full of agency staff, too. There will be nurses who are not striking because they have chosen not to.”
“With bank holiday coinciding with strike action, we would like the public to consider which services they use to help reduce unnecessary demand on our urgent care services. This includes using 111 online as the first port of call for health needs and continuing to only use 999 if it is a life-threatening emergency.
