Government calls for 'realistic' nurse pay rise

Article Abstract:

Nursing unions are seeking a pay increase for nurses which will attract more people into the profession while ensuring those already working in the public sector service remain. The government is hoping nursing unions will take a more realistic approach to nurse pay rises for 2000, suggesting a figure of up to 3.5% for the public sector as a whole. The large number of grade E nurses are hoping to be included in the pay award for 2000 as they are usually left out.
