Royal College of Nursing responds to statement by the new health secretary, Wes Streeting

Press Release 05/07/2024

Responding to a statement by the new health secretary, Wes Streeting, a Royal College of Nursing spokesperson said:

“NHS staff haven't given up, but they are exhausted and need the secretary of state to help.

“A fair pay settlement for all is the first step into rescuing health and care services, along with proper investment to boost recruitment and retention. We can't keep asking the same dedicated health workers to do more with less.”
