Nurse who also helped saved Boris Johnson's life quits in protest
A good nurse credited with assisting to save Primary Minister Boris Johnson's lifestyle this past year has quit the UK health services in protest at the government's insufficient "respect" for frontline personnel.
New Zealand-born Jenny McGee was 1 of 2 intensive-care nurses who gave Johnson round-the-clock treatment this past year on a central London medical center when he was struck downwards with Covid-19. The prime minister said later that he simply pulled through because of their care, but his authorities has since confronted fury from nurses for offering a pay surge of just one single percent - properly a cut, after inflation.
"We're not obtaining the respect and today pay that people deserve. I'm just fed up with it. Consequently I've handed in my own resignation," McGee says in a Channel 4 tv set documentary airing following Monday. She refused to be a part of a Downing Street photography opportunity last July, noting: "Plenty of nurses sensed that the government hadn't led very properly, the indecisiveness, so various mixed messages. "It was just incredibly upsetting." Keir Starmer, head of the main opposition Labour party, stated McGee's resignation was a "devastating indictment of Boris Johnson's method of the people who put their lives at risk for him and our complete country."
But a Downing Road spokesperson said "this federal government will do everything in our capacity to support" personnel of the National Health Service (NHS), stressing they had been excluded from a shell out freeze affecting other consumer sector workers.
