Royal College of Nursing responds to Prime Minister's broadcast

Press Release 10/05/2020

Responding to the Prime Minister's broadcast this evening, Dame Donna Kinnair, RCN Chief Executive and General Secretary, said: 

"Nursing staff across the UK are imploring the public to remember that this pandemic is far from over. Please think about our health and care workers, working under tremendous pressure, and respect the guidance being given.

"The Prime Minister has said it is important to ensure nurses and key workers have the protective equipment and testing they need. This has to be a priority. Until our members report they are getting all they need, it is hard to see how the lockdown could be relaxed further."
