The claim
Nurses are striking because they want a 19% pay rise.
Rating
Needs context: The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is pushing for wage growth of 5% above the RPI rate of inflation. The pay request from nurses is variable because it depends on the rate of inflation, so it is misleading to present it as a specific figure based on a time when inflation was high.
