Nurses are traumatised and fed up, says strike supporter

Nurses are traumatised and fed up, says strike supporter





Staff shortages and concerns about patient care are the main reasons nurses are backing a strike, a nurse has said.

Leanne Lewis voted in favour of a walkout in the Royal College of Nursing's (RCN) ballot, the results of which are due this week

Ms Lewis, 47, who trained as a nurse in 1995, said: "I felt we needed to take action. Enough is enough."

The Welsh government called on the UK government to provide more funding for public sector pay rises.

The UK government said it had followed the NHS Pay Review Body's recommendations.

Doctors, consultants, GPs and nurses in Wales have been offered pay rises of between 4% and 5.5%, but inflation hit 10.1% in October, the fastest rate in 42 years, with food costs jumping 14.6% in the year to September.

If the strike goes ahead, it will affect non-urgent but not emergency care.

The ballot closed on Friday and final results are being counted, but RCN sources say a large majority of nurses have voted in favour of action in a dispute over pay.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast programme, Ms Lewis, who works in a Welsh hospital but did not wish to say which one, said voting to strike was "an extremely difficult decision".

"For me, the NHS as a whole throughout the country, they are haemorrhaging staff... staff are leaving in their droves," she said.

"There's lots and lots staff sickness, through burnout, complications post-pandemic throughout the hospitals in Wales, ward levels, staff levels, skill mix: there's not the right skills mix on the wards."

She added that in some cases, staffing levels were "not safe".
