She said she was shocked and saddened" that negotiations were going on for so long to get a "decent and fair deal for a profession that is so valuable to the community" at a time "when recruitment and retention of nurses is so urgent".A Manx Care spokeswoman said the extra 2% offered had been in "recognition of the difficult financial climate and to lessen the adverse impact the prolonged negotiations have on our colleagues".
