title: Continuation of NHS Pay Review body benefits all.
abstract: The prospect of yet another year in which most nurses' standard of living will fall because the English government is too mean to fund a pay rise could hardly be more depressing. Last week's announcement by the Treasury that nurses will not receive a cost-of-living pay award next year - only a 1 per cent one-off payment if they are at the top of their pay band - demonstrates the lack of respect ministers have for the profession.
