No wonder there is a shortfall of nurses in the UK
its a bit hard to give pay rises beyond that when many workers lost their jobs during this time. Most medical professionals I know were worked to exhaustion, but appreciated they were still being paid.

the proof of what this government believes their worth to be comes after the pandemic, when things settle down and we return to some normality regarding tax and spending.
