'All they want is fair pay': Patients supporting striking nurses despite disruption to care 💬 ‘Pay people a decent wage and support the NHS and this wouldn’t happen,’ said one patient whose surgery has been postponed
While some patients took to social media to voice frustration at the industrial action, other people affected by it said they supported the strikers and did not hold them responsible for disruption.
Hollie, 24, who works in hospitality, said she was told that her son’s operation was being moved because of the strikes as it was non-urgent. While a new date has not yet been set, she is expecting it to take place in the New Year, and is partly relieved. “I’m partially glad as I didn’t want him being too poorly for his first Christmas, and as a first-time mum it’s always a bit daunting seeing your child go in for an operation.”
“So we’re extremely fortunate in our personal circumstances – plus I don’t have a poorly baby for Christmas, which is lovely.”
