Background

Currently many NHS nursing staff are working 12 hour shifts, with unpaid rest breaks. Fund the NHS to pay them their rest time.

Additional details

I have been in a NHS hospital for over two months recovering from major life threatening surgery. The nursing care I have received has been extraordinary. Our nurses work extremely hard. Please provide funding to value their worth and at least pay them while they recharge.
