From the fact-checkers

Nurses pay is to rise by 72p per hour, not 72p per week.


Earlier this month RCN general secretary Pat Cullen stated that Nurses have been offered a pay rise of 72p per week.

This claim was repeated at last week's Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons by a Labour MP.

However, the RCN has since said that Ms Cullen misspoke. Calculations from UNISON actually suggest the pay offer increases wages by 72p per hour, not 72p per week.
