To Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

For the first time in history, nurses are left with no choice but to go on strike. Ministers are declining formal pay negotiations. I stand with the nurses on strike.

Petition text

Prime Minister,

The NHS is one of the best things about our country. And it is falling apart.

Nursing staff make up more than half of the NHS workforce, and they are pushed to breaking point. Care is not safe and patients are paying the price.

For the first time in history, nurses are left with no choice but to go on strike. Over six million people are waiting for care. Patients are stuck in the back of queuing ambulances. All because there are not enough staff.

This year is worse than ever. 8 in 10 nurses said on their most recent shift the care given to patients was compromised because there are not enough nursing staff on shift. Unfair pay is forcing too many to leave. Over 25,000 nurses left last year alone.

Without nursing staff, there will be no NHS. Nursing staff always speak up for patients – we are speaking up for the nurses.
