According to a report, nursing staff should receive an increase in salary of £ 2,000 to combat a growing attendance crisis in this sector.

The Fabian Society asked the government to provide £ 1.5 billion in order to grant the salary increase to more than half a million nursing staff in England.

In a report supported by Unison, a higher minimum wage for health assistants who do clinical tasks is determined.

Fabian Society said that low wage prices are not sufficiently attractive for many job seekers, so that employers have difficulty recruiting employees to fill 120,000 jobs in nursing homes and other support services in England.

The report added that changes that were introduced to the government of the government leadership lead to the company that companies can no longer stop overseas.

“This makes it even more urgent that the nursing sector increases his attraction as a career goal for British employees,” the report says.

Joe Dromey, Secretary General of Fabian Society, said: “The treatment of the social security workforce is a national scandal.

“Nurses deliver important support, but they are exposed to poverty, chronic uncertainty and have only a few ways to progress.”

Christina Mcanea, Secretary General of Unison, said: “The increase in wages in care is the first step to turn this oppressed sector.

“Nursing work is highly qualified because everyone knows too well with a relative in nursing, but it is paid for as if it were a slightly qualified job.

According to the LBC Caller, the sector for nursing homes is “on the knees” under the reforms of the Labor reforms

“That is why too few people want to work in the industry and employers are dependent on overseas employees.

“The increase in wages in care will cost money, but it is a price to pay.

“Governments with financing maintenance have been cheap to get away for too long.

“This has contributed to creating the current crisis that harms the NHS, the people who need care does not hurt and have to fight many families to deal with it.

“Until the maintenance wages rise, the sector will never be able to recruit the employees required, and these gaps in the workforce will increase with increasing age of the population of Great Britain.

“Nursing work is difficult and people can deliver more packages or make coffee on the high street.

“By determining the money to finance wage increases in care, the government will show that it is serious to change the sector.

“This will be good with the public and help to create the promised National Care Service that the country needs so desperately.”
