If you don't pay nurses - and other NHS staff - a competitive and decent salary they'll just leave eventually. Same with social care which often pays less. The idea of standing firm against them and not giving them a pay rise may give him a political win but why will people train if the Government boasts about not giving them low pay rises?
It's not as if nurses are loaded and greedily trying to get even more money. They need to afford housing, energy bills and food as well. They'll be forced to better-paying jobs.
