NHS strike – live: Government must boost pay offer for nurses, ex-Tory chair urges
The Independent says A senior Tory MP has said the government must improve its pay offer to nurses to end strikes hitting the NHS.
It comes as 70,000 appointments have been lost and surgeries have been postponed for up to six weeks as NHS workers walked out today.
Jake Berry said: “We need to find a way as a government, and the union does too, to get to that centre point, that point of agreement straight away.” He also told Talk TV that the government’s current offer is “too low”.
