Boost our pay or risk strike action, warn nurse leaders

A survey of Royal College of Nursing members showed 91% did not think the 3.6% pay increase this year was enough. The RCN warned there was widespread dissatisfaction with the NHS contract, known as Agenda for Change. Nurses begin on band five, with a starting salary of just over 31,000, after this year's pay rise. Nearly half of nurses are on this bottom band and research shows many struggle to move on from it.
