NEARLY four in five nurses working in GP practices have not received a pay rise promised by the government last year, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has revealed.

The union said its members working “at the front door to the NHS” are being “repeatedly failed when it comes to their pay.”

The Department of Health and Social Care agreed last October to a 6 per cent increase of GP and staff pay, hailing the rise, backdated to April, as their “first meaningful pay rise in years.”
