Nurses sleeping in car as they can’t afford fuel: RCN

Sandy Harding, the RCN’s associate director of nursing, said that some nurses are sleeping in their cars because they cannot afford the fuel to get home.

Royal College of Nursing (RCN)’s union representative added that nurses felt “burnt out” and that current staffing levels were “unsafe”.

The nurses are asking for a 19% pay rise and plan to strike on 15 and 20 December. The UK government said the pay demand was unaffordable.
