Midwife on a demonstration last September with a clear message
THE ROYAL College of Nurses (RCN) has taken the occasion of the International Day of the Midwife to demand a pay increase for all NHS workers and for the urgent need to address the acute staffing crisis which means that the NHS is 2,500 midwives short.
Being short of midwives is putting women, babies and staff at risk. The RCN said: ‘This years’ theme is “Follow the Data: Invest in Midwives”, and we’re calling for a 12.5% pay increase for NHS maternity staff as part of our Fair Pay for Nursing Campaign.
