Nurses have rejected the latest pay offer because it fails to address their concerns about patient safety.
Kerri Nuku from the Nurses Association says even before Covid-19 the health system was in crisis, and they see little prospect of improvement - even from the pending health sector reforms. Now we ve got an issue where we ve got burned out nurses working in a system which isn t responsive, working in a system where when you go to work on shift you might be one of two nurses caring for a significant number of patients with a high level of complications. That puts the nurses but also the patients at a certain degree of risk, she says.
