Public Health England noted that the historical experiences of black and other minority groups might mean they are less likely to seek help when it is necessary, ultimately having an impact on longer-term health. A group of UK academics recently argued that access to medical care is also determined by a person’s ability to use services “with ease, and having confidence that you will be treated with respect”. This can be “hindered by language barriers, patients’ attitudes towards healthcare providers and the behaviour and attitudes of healthcare professionals towards minority patients”. The effects of racial discrimination in wider society also play a part in why some minority groups are hesitant to take up a Covid-19 vaccine.
A 1% payrise.
But at least we stood on our doorsteps and clapped them, what more do they want?
Covid-19: Nurses prepare for strikes over 1% NHS pay rise in England
A union calls the proposed increase in England "pitiful", but ministers say money is tight.www.bbc.co.uk
Going back to why some inner city constituencies might not be taking up the vaccine as quick as others - a long (but great) article from the FT today which is well worth a read: Subscribe to read | Financial Times
More than me too, but then I'm not tasked with saving peoples' lives (I hope!)1% is more than I will be getting.

It is relevant, when they're vastly underpaid for what they do and, at a time when surely we notice that even more than before, we seem to choose not to try and redress some of the unfairness.Is that really relevant? So should surgeons get a vastly higher rise than nurses?

Average Nurse is about £30k plus isn't it?
I think this has taught everybody that a lot of hidden trades are needed more than before.
I'd say that she's showing exactly why she's in that profession, because she's not self-centred, all about me-me-me, and that if only others were like that, she'd have more money instead of people being greedy and insular and ungrateful.Funnily enough a nurse has just been on five live and says she doesn’t even want the 1% - says she has job security 40 days holiday a pension and is grateful - what would you say to her?

So what!Nurses earn above the national average?
£34k

Fucking hell, this is just typical Tory shit from Grendel, what a disgusting point of view.
They earn above national wage so they don't deserve a raise?

I'd say there are plenty who deserve a raise who are much worse off than earning an average £34k a year.
It's not really disgusting is it? Plenty of people have lost their jobs or had to take pay cuts meanwhile 1% payrise and a secure job isn't enough.
There are plenty that don't earn that average wage. People getting paid properly means more money to spend in small businesses etc. Squeezing people is arguably going to make it tougher for business to recover.I'd say there are plenty who deserve a raise who are much worse off than earning an average £34k a year.

They've just announced more austerity, let's see what's happening next week. Labour are nowhere, completely wrong footed over the budget.
Yep and to come on live tv and say we’ve no money and others have lost their jobs is outrageousFeels like the free schools meals situation all over again ie there is reasoning behind it (ie concern about available cash) but it’s not good optics and doesn’t sit well with a majority of the public.
They should’ve found a way to provide either a 2%+ payrise, or a one off ‘thank you‘ bonus if they were worried about longer term funding. The fact is any rise is taxed and then as it’s relatively small probably just gets put back into the economy anyway so net cost wouldn’t be too painful. Might cause problems with police, bin men and other front line public servants though ie everyone would push for a rise
same goes for shop workers and other (genuine) key workers that have had to continue to put themselves/their families at risk during the pandemic. All deserve recognition but many of probably won’t get looked after either
Who else is more deserving of a raise this year than NHS staff? Someone mentioned carers, I'd put them on the list - anyone else? Do we have to wait until they all get a pay rise first before anyone else gets one?
And does this philosophy now apply to all public spending? No new help for existing homeowners until we've wiped out homelessness, presumably?
