I know a lady who is still waiting 15 months and counting in England.

However quite why Labour in Wales is not doing better doesn't impress me at all.

It should be seen as criminal that governing powers allow anyone to be in pain for these lengths of time.
Just for the sake of replacement operations.

Yes Covid has caused us such problems.


Let's see if Starmer, Labour can do better
next year

Nurses on average get 8K more than adult care staff

number of adult care staff on strike = 0

IF he does lead Labour to government then he'd better and he'll need to do loads better than Labour are in Wales too.

Care staff definitely deserve a raise. They are amazing.
My sister is one and I'm so proud of her!

Unite Union Secretary Sharon Graham
was Live on Ridge SkyNewsHD


On behalf of the NHS strikes
She stated clearly 10% Pay rise
is what Labour should say.

As all Labour MP's refuse to give a number.

Its an unqualified position with no formal educational requirements, no professional registration, and (crucially) no level of professional responsibility if/when things go wrong.

I'm not disagreeing that care staff should be paid more, but pointing out that nurses earn significantly more than unregistered healthcare staff is pretty obvious. No one would train to be a nurse if they got paid just as much to be an HCA.
