Nurses are staging their latest pay strike in parts of England
There are 12 hour walkouts at 55 NHS trusts. That includes at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, where, according to Putney MP Fleur Anderson, “Sixty nurses have resigned because of the stress of the workload and underpay” The trust says its putting measures in place to try to ease pressures – including opening up extra beds and offering remote monitoring service. Meanwhile the health secretary's called wage rises for nursing staff 'unaffordable'. Steve Barclay's written in a newspaper that they'd mean 'cutting patient care' and would 'stoke inflation'.
