The RCN general secretary, Prof Nicola Ranger, stated that members are not yet feeling valued, highlighting the importance of nursing staff in the NHS and the need for urgent change.
Ranger emphasized that the outcome indicates a shift in the nursing staff's expectations from the government, calling for urgent actions rather than rhetorical commitments to improve standards and pay.
Amidst a record turnout, the rejection of the pay deal by two-thirds demonstrates the nursing staff's determination to advocate for better pay and working conditions.
The nursing union's letter points out that safe staffing levels are essential, and that despite recent promises, nursing staff are still awaiting tangible reforms that address their core concerns.
