Some 100,000 members of the public, nursing staff and patients have signed a letter urging the Prime Minister to raise nurses’ wages that was delivered to Downing Street this morning.
The Royal College of Nursing, who organised the letter (which is printed in full at the end of this article), is warning Rishi Sunak on his 100th day in office that the NHS is “deteriorating rapidly” on his watch.
In a major escalation, nurses are planning to walk out next Monday and Tuesday at a bigger number of hospitals than previous action.
