What the petition asks
So the governments treasury has announced huge “inflation busting” pay increases for doctors, teachers, police officers, prison guards however they are stating nurses are already on a 3 year pay increase plan.
The government and the unions representing the nurses of the UK need to review the pay increase for nurses !
Nurses and healthcare assistants have been working throughout the pandemic on the front line (all fields of practice) and were not included in the pay increase !
This needs to be revisited and nurses and care assistance recognised for the work they have done !
The pay increase plan that was agreed in 2018 did not include for a unprecedented pandemic
