My statement β€˜ John Dwyer's comments were disgraceful and his apology does not change the fact that he thought it appropriate to comment on the clothing of young girls and blame female victims of abuse and trauma. 1/2

β€œExhausted”, β€œburnt out” and β€œinsulted” are the themes I am hearing from #nurses but make no mistake, our resolve is unbroken for quality patient care. Fair pay = safe staffing, there was money for crony contracts - there should be money to ensure nurses can afford to nurse.

We CAN NOT be left behind again. Pay disparity sounds imminent listening to DOH officials. Nursing staff and all health care workers will once again be the lowest paid NHS AFC staff in the UK. This is not acceptable to staff nor patients in NI. We need parity and clarity now.

β€œWe are not the cause of the problems in the NHS.” RCN England director Patricia Marquis tells #TimesRadio it’s β€œplain obvious” to the public that there isn't enough money or staff to deliver "adequate" NHS services. @PMarquisRCN | @AasmahMir

The government’s pay offer isn’t enough and will not solve the problems nursing faces, says Royal College of Nursing. @PMarquisRCN explains why her union rejected the NHS pay deal when others accepted it. #KayBurley LT

Dear @RishiSunak, After 13 years of running the NHS into the ground, it's crystal clear: a vote for your @Conservatives is a vote to kill the NHS. Thank you to @schrankartoons for this excellent work. #SOSNHS

Well thanks for helping @theRCN & members know we need a new pay spine for nurses. @unisontheunion way you handled this for your members was awful & borderline threatening. You failed lower bands by forcing an awful deal. Now if we split AFC it will effect them detrimentally

Congratulations on agreeing to this package for all NHS staff while allowing >500,000 nurses/midwives/HCAs fueled by the RCN to continue to strike for a proper pay package, all while they’ve guaranteed a minimum increase (less incentive to stop fighting for their true worth).

Government is trumpeting its NHS pay deal being 'accepted', but it's been rejected by RCN (>400,000 nurses), Unite (>100,000 paramedics, call handlers & hospital workers) and doesn't apply to the junior doctors. Doesn't really seem like anything has been solved - just imposed.
