The Trinidad and Tobago National Nursing Association is elated that it was able to negotiate on behalf of nurses, which it believes swayed the hand of Prime Minister Stuart Young to ensure they receive a much-needed rise in salaries.
Speaking at a political meeting at Success Laventille Secondary School on Wednesday night, Young said after a meeting with the TTNNA he instructed that nurses be given an increase from 2013.
“It was also brought to my attention yesterday that the nurses working for the Regional Health Authorities across the length and breadth of Trinidad and Tobago have not had their salaries looked at and adjusted since 2013. “Well, I stand here tonight as the eighth Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and tell our nurses who have given yeoman service, who save lives and who look after us in the hospitals and the healthcare centres that this morning (Wednesday) I gave instructions that that be fixed and that the CPO look at giving our nurses increases from 2013.”
