Welsh Minister Must Apologise for Nurses Criticism
10 Mar 2023
Responding to a recording obtained by the Llanelli Herald, where Deputy Minister Lee Waters describes RCN members as militant, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“Nurses have been through a horrific time in the pandemic and are now struggling to make ends meet during a cost-of-living crisis and unprecedented demands on the NHS.
“Many have been forced to resort to using food banks.
“Calling them "militant" for merely wanting a pay increase in line with inflation is not acceptable from a Welsh Government Minister and nurses across Wales deserve an apology.”
