A Shropshire MP has voiced fears on how patients will be impacted after nursing staff at NHS employers voted to take strike action over pay levels and patient safety concerns.
Daniel Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham, praised nurses for their efforts but was 'saddened' to see industrial action confirmed by the Royal College of Nursing .
"I am saddened to see that industrial action has been approved. These are profoundly challenging times for our country, and I want to point out that the Government accepted the recommendations of the independent NHS Pay Review Body in full and has given over one million NHS workers a pay rise of at least £1,400 this year.
"Patients are the priority," he added."And I fear for how they will be affected by the upcoming industrial action." RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Pat Cullen said: “Anger has become action – our members are saying enough is enough. The voice of nursing in the UK is strong and I will make sure it is heard. Our members will no longer tolerate a financial knife-edge at home and a raw deal at work.
