Royal College of Nursing General Secretary and Chief Executive, Pat Cullen, said: “Nursing staff lead public health services and will support a focus on prevention and detection for the youngest.

Royal College of Nursing responds to new government plans to boost domestic care workforce
Royal College of Nursing Director for England, Patricia Marquis said: "We hope ministers are at last getting the message that the only way to fill the significant vacancies in social care is by valuing nursing and care staff, and boosting domestic recruitment. However, the plans announced today will fail if they are not backed up by new funding commitments, further detail, and a comprehensive workforce plan."

Royal College of Nursing responds to the opening of the consultation on a pay spine for nursing staff in the NHS
Royal College of Nursing General Secretary and Chief Executive, Pat Cullen, said: “The current pay scale turns 20 years old this year and no longer reflects the skills and expertise in nursing today. Despite many years of experience, the vast majority of nurses are on the lowest pay bands possible. The current system only rewards people the further away they get from patient care. This approach is poor for patients and works against career progression for a nurse. Automatic pay band progression is afforded to some staff groups and never to nurses – it is unfair and unsustainable."
