UK nurses’ leader says politicians only made modest progress with pay and staffing

Politicians did only enough to save their own skins during strikes by nurses, a union leader has claimed, meaning there was just modest progress in NHS pay and staffing in 2023.

Pat Cullen, the general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said Westminster stopped well short of the “revolution needed”.
In a new year’s message, she urged half a million RCN members to “again push ministers further than they want to go” in 2024, broadening the union’s campaign to include seeking commitments on safe staffing levels as well as a fair pay rise for nurses.
