A NURSING union has warned that nurses are facing a “two-tier” payment system, with many staff not given the same pay rise as colleagues in other parts of the NHS.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) raised concerns today that the 6 per cent rise promised to nurses in the summer has not yet been awarded to all nursing staff who work in GP surgeries.
It warned that thousands of nurses in England “risk being denied the full 6 per cent pay rise that they were promised by the Westminster government.”
