Thousands of National Health Service nurses and abilities workers on strike over pay The UK Cabinet seems to be at war internally over the health budget for now. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is under fire for reportedly blocking efforts by Health Secretary Steve Buckley to negotiate an end to industrial action in UK hospitals.
According to reports, Buckley had told the unions that he wanted to persuade the treasury to offer higher pay rises to the NHS workers. However, Hunt has reportedly asked Buckley that he will have to raise the budget of either his own department for health and social care or, more likely, NHS England in order to fund any improved offer.
This comes as nurses have threatened to double down on striker force in February with walkers by more staff than in the first strike and started in December to increase pressure on the government. NHS staff, who were paid between £35,000 and £45,000, are regarded as particularly vulnerable to cost of leaving pressures, with many of those taking home less while also receiving just some benefits.
Talks between the government and the unions have so far failed to make any progress. While the deadlock continues, users of the National Health Service face long waits for treatment as strikes, staff shortages and COVID infections put the service under strain.
Meanwhile, CO Saddam are the latest to join the ranks of striking workers. The strike is the return of the worst run of waka unrest since Margaret Ducher was in power in the 1980s and the arrival of double digit inflation.
That has produced a sense of mali's in Britain, where living standards are tumbling at their sharpest rates since records begun in the 1950.
