NHS Pay

EDM number 132 in 2017-19, proposed by Conor McGinn on 05/07/2017.
Categorised under the topics of Health staff and professions and Pay.

That this House notes that in 2017-18 NHS pay rises have been capped at one per cent and that this represents another below-inflation pay settlement; further notes that applications for nursing degrees have fallen 23 per cent this year; notes that the number of nurses and midwives joining the Nursing and Midwifery Council register has been in decline since March 2016 and that in 2016-17 45 per cent more UK registrants left the register than joined it; and calls on the Government to end the public sector pay cap in the NHS and give NHS workers a fair pay rise.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs.
