NHS Student Bursary V Loan (EDM866)

NHS Student Bursary V Loan

EDM number 866 in 2015-16, proposed by Alan Meale on 14/12/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Health staff and professions, Loans and Students.

That this House is aware of the mass petition currently gathering momentum opposed to Government plans to replace NHS bursaries with student loans; believes such a direction would be wrong and fundamentally unfair as unlike other students most student nurses spend half their time on unpaid clinical placements in hospitals and the community, have a longer academic year than other students, have little time to earn money, as well as their average ages being around 29 years, with many having their own children; notes the pay for registered nurses is far lower than other graduate professions making it unlikely they would ever earn sufficient wages to refund such borrowings; and calls on the Government in the interests of the nation's health to stop such a stupid and short-sighted route to nowhwere.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
