A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve.
Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.
Staffing is worst than its ever been. How can it be acceptable for one nurse to look after 16 patients that are acutely unwell? Unsafe is not even the word. How can we carry on like this?
My colleague: "The NHS has always been ran on good will. Now staff don't even have the will to want to work their normal hours, nevermind extra."
And there you have it.
One of the most toxic traits of the NHS leadership model is having senior leaders sit in a nice big room with free coffee telling each other how great things are whilst those most affected by the organisational shortcomings are left to tear chunks off each other through stress.
