Kate Weston: College of Nurses Director says latest pay offer to nurses is certainly worth considering

The latest pay offer to nurses is being called a significant and positive outcome. The Government is stumping up an additional $1.5 billion towards an interim settlement. That would mean Te Whatu Ora nurses get a pay rise and a $15,000 dollar lump sum. College of Nurses Executive Director Kate Weston says it's an offer certainly worth considering. She told Tim Dower it's now time to turn their attention to other sectors. Weston says nurses in areas like aged care and Māori and iwi providers have had small pay increases which aren't enough.
