Today, the Prime Minister said previous investment in the NHS included a pay rise for nurses.

That pay rise was due yesterday. It's still late today.

The government must speak to us and other unions about what staff want for the NHS.

Members deserve better than hollow promises. buff.ly/gOAMeU8

A reminder to Welsh Government: you run higher education in Wales and your party colleagues are in power at Westminster. If you want devolution to survive - indeed, if you want Wales to survive - you have to actually do something about the crises happening under your watch.
