Nurses critical of Health Minister's comments to conference

From Midday Report, 12:19 pm on 15 September 2022

Nurses held signs asking for pay equity but were left disappointed with the Health Minister's comments at the nurses' union annual conference.

In his opening remarks, Andrew Little acknowledged the immense pressure nurses are under.

As he spoke, five nurses stood at the back of the room with signs displaying the date they expected pay equity to be dealt with back in 2019.

A nurse and union delegate Grant Cloughly has been at the conference this morning and spoke with Māni Dunlop.
