Royal College of Nursing (RCN) responds to the restoration of power-sharing in Northern Ireland

Pat Cullen, RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive said: “The return of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive is to be greatly welcomed. Four years after pay parity was first restored to nursing staff in Northern Ireland, the Executive must now take urgent action to restore parity once more. The past two years of political inaction has forced many to question their future in our profession, adding to chronic nursing shortages across all sectors."

Royal College of Nursing responds to the Times Health Commission report

Royal College of Nursing (RCN) General Secretary and Chief Executive Pat Cullen said: “Nurses have been warning that the NHS is on life support for years – it will never be back on stable footing unless greater value is put on staff. There’s a crisis in the recruitment and retention of registered nurses. Pay must be improved to recognise their safety-critical skills and working conditions improved – right now abuse and burnout are normalised. It’s an unacceptable disgrace."
