Rishi Sunak has described the recent pay increase for NHS staff as “very strong” during his first appearance at Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Sunak also said the Conservative Party “will always support our hardworking nurses”, at the session which took place in parliament today.
Richard Burgon, Labour MP for Leeds East, stood up and told Mr Sunak that a nurse would have to work over 20,000 years to obtain “the vast wealth” which is possessed by the prime minister.
He added: “The prime minister knows only too well that the super rich could easily afford to pay more in taxes, so rather than announce a new wave of cuts and austerity, wouldn’t it be fairer for the prime minister to introduce wealth taxes on the very richest in our society?”
In response, Mr Sunak said: “We will always support our hardworking nurses and that’s why as chancellor we reintroduced the nurse’s bursary and provided more training and introduced, actually, very strong pay increases.”
He added that as the government approaches the “difficult decisions” that confront us, they will approach them in a way that is “fair and compassionate”.
This comes at the same time that unions across the UK are balloting NHS nurses on whether they will take industrial action over pay.
Unions, including the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Unison, are urging their members around the UK to vote for strike action over the government’s below-inflation pay awards for 2022-23.
In England and Wales, most nurses on Agenda for Change contracts were handed a £1,400 pay rise, in line with the recommendations of the NHS Pay Review Body, this summer.
Nurses in Northern Ireland continue to wait for a formal announcement on pay because of budget uncertainties. Meanwhile, the Scottish Government has in recent days put forward a new offer which would see NHS staff given a £2,205 uplift – equal to an 8.45% increase for most nurses.
During the session, Conservative MP for Faversham and Mid Kent, Helen Whately, also pressed the new prime minister on the state of the NHS.
She noted the recent State of Care report from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) which “showed a health system in gridlock”.
The report, published last week, found that the health and social care system in England was unable to offer care to people who need it, largely due to the ongoing workforce crisis.

里希·苏纳克（Rishi Sunak）在首次出席首相提问时表示，NHS员工最近的加薪“非常强劲”。
苏纳克先生在今天的议会会议上还表示，保守党“将永远支持我们辛勤工作的护士”。
利兹东部工党议员理查德·伯根（Richard Burgon）站起来告诉苏纳克先生，一名护士必须工作20000多年才能获得首相拥有的“巨大财富”。
他补充道：“首相非常清楚，超级富豪很容易负担得起更多的税收，所以与其宣布新一轮的减税和紧缩政策，首相对我们社会中最富有的人征收财富税，不是更公平吗？”
作为回应，苏纳克先生表示：“我们将永远支持我们辛勤工作的护士，这就是为什么作为总理，我们重新引入了护士助学金，提供了更多的培训，并引入了非常强劲的加薪。”
他补充道，当政府处理我们面临的“困难决定”时，他们将以“公平和富有同情心”的方式处理这些决定。
与此同时，英国各地的工会正在就NHS护士是否会因工资问题采取劳工行动进行投票。
包括皇家护理学院（RCN）和尤尼森（Unison）在内的工会正在敦促英国各地的会员投票支持对政府2022-23年低于通胀的薪酬奖励采取罢工行动。
在英格兰和威尔士，根据NHS薪酬审查机构的建议，今年夏天，《变革议程》合同中的大多数护士获得了1400英镑的加薪。
由于预算的不确定性，北爱尔兰的护士们继续等待正式的薪酬公告。与此同时，苏格兰政府最近几天提出了一项新的提议，要求NHS员工增加2205英镑，相当于大多数护士增加8.45%。
在会议期间，Faversham和Mid Kent的保守党议员Helen Whaley也就NHS的状况向新首相施压。
她注意到最近来自护理质量委员会（CQC）的护理状况报告，该报告“显示了卫生系统的僵局”。
上周发布的这份报告发现，英国的医疗和社会护理系统无法为需要的人提供护理，这主要是由于持续的劳动力危机。
