Nurses Pay

EDM number 1018 in 1995-96, proposed by Simon Hughes on 18/06/1996.

That this House notes the report, Broken Promises, on the state of local pay in the nursing profession, published on 17th June by the Royal College of Nursing; notes the report's findings that only 111 out of 488 NHS trusts have made pay offers to nurses above the 2 per cent. national pay award; notes that this has demoralised many nurses and done nothing to allay the problems of recruitment which the NHS currently faces; notes that many nurses have lost all confidence in the independence of the Pay Review Body; calls for a single national pay review body for the whole NHS to remove the inequalities in consideration of pay rises between professions and occupations in the health service; and further calls for an annual increase in nurses' pay by at least the level of national inflation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
