I have reworked my thread on the NHS pay deal having read more about it. The argument I make is the same, but the data is slightly different, so this is version 2 of why the NHS is at very real risk because of this deal. A threadβ¦.
Nurses stand for pay restoration.
Nothing else will fix the staffing crisis.
Nothing else will improve patient care.
Anything below is unfair.
Anything below is a PAY CUT.
Retweet if you agree!

A crap pay offer would be a devastating blow for NHS workers, that the government could chalk up as us having a victory.
In reality it will lead to the continued decline of NHS standards

While the cost of everything has gone up, nursing pay has not.
The end result? Thousands of nursing staff driven out of the profession because they can't afford the basics.
#FairPayForNursing protects the nursing profession and the public.
To be clear, what the government is offering NHS staff is still a PAY CUT.
It will not improve staffing levels or patient care.
It is an insult.

Only today learning that the AfC Pay scales are totally different in Scotland to England. To put it into context. I'm currently earning 7.7% less than my Scottish counterparts. This pay offer would make it 15.5% less. Why are England getting it so wrong?

We have not done all THIS for a measly, below inflation 5%.
This is still a pay cut. We must #SAYNO to this awful offer.
Retweet if you agree NHS staff deserve a Fair Deal!
