Proceeding contribution from Rupa Huq (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint.
Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint
The Minister is giving figures for the current workforce, but does he have any for the future workforce? I mentioned my constituent, Dr Linda Burke, of nursing and education studies at the University of Greenwich. She is worried that due to the cut in nursing bursaries, the number of applications is falling, possibly by as much as 30%. The RCN itself has said:
“We have consistently raised concerns to the Government… Despite 100 years of nursing knowledge and expertise, our advice fell on deaf ears.”
The RCN is effectively saying, “We told you so.” Will he remark on that?
