NEWS - Voting begins on NHS pension proposals

The Royal College of Nursing is today (30 January) sending out voting papers asking members whether they want to accept or reject the Government’s NHS pension proposals.

All RCN members, apart from those already retired, are urged to use their vote, ahead of the deadline of 4pm on 27 February.

The short film above explains the three methods members can use to cast their vote: by post, by telephone or online.

In the film, Dr Peter Carter, RCN Chief Executive & General Secretary, says: "I want to encourage every member of the RCN to use your vote. If you do not use your vote, this will be a wasted opportunity so please do so."

The Government has said these are its "final" proposals.

The RCN’s governing Council will hold a special meeting on 28 February to discuss next steps in the process.
