There is a push to end an unfair pay gap within the nursing industry. Rallies will be held nationwide today; as primary healthcare nurses demand Te Whatu Ora pay them the same as their hospital counterparts. Currently primary health care nurses are paid up to 15 percent less, but in some cases the gap is wider. Nurses Organisation Co-President Kerri Nuku told Mike Hosking the unfair way this is happening is beyond them. She says primary healthcare nurses are out in the community, and is questioning why the Government isn't paying equity for all nurses regardless of where they work.
