We expect UK central government departments to spend £415.5 billion on the day-to-day ('current') running costs of public services. This is 35 per cent of public spending. The biggest items are health (£168.2 billion), education (£77.1 billion) and defence (£32.1 billion). (Source OBR)
A ten-per-cent (9bn) nurses increase would be nearly 20% of current health spending. #taxjustice #FairTaxCouncil #RobinHoodTaxUK #enoughisenough

The UK has approximately 300,000 nurses and are paid annually around 33,300. A ten-per-cent increase would amount to just over 3000 a year, costing the country 9bn. #taxjustice #FairTaxCouncil #RobinHoodTaxUK #enoughisenough
