Great.
Somewhat ruined by inconvenient facts like that the average nurse is paid well over 22k. Some nurses are paid up to 40k according to today's Sunday Times. As for the 1% pay rise cap, that overlooks the fact that every year a nurse can rise up the pay scale, and typically can expect a pay rise of 4% per annum. Some can achieve as much as 7% in a year. I'd rather have more doctors anyway.

All the math is on there to check. it's based on the starting salary of a nurse. Even if it was the average salary I think it's still going to a 2 million nurse-hours!

Fair enough, but it's still misleading.
In the same way the £350 million Brexit bus claim wasn't untrue, but it was a gross figure, not a net figure. So not actually a lie, but not really the truth either. Much like your claim. Anyway, we'd benefit much more from more doctors. But this country has long sentimentalised the role of nurses since Florence Nightingale. Or Mary Seacole, if you prefer.

You need to add
the other costs for employment (overheads, training, etc.). Page 188 of this document: www.pssru.ac.uk/project-pages/unit-costs/2016/index.php helpfully adds those up for you. It suggests that a Band 6 (which would probably reflect an average grade) hospital-based nurse would cost the NHS around £50,000 per year. If they're based in London, it will be around 50% more.

I'd rather have more Doctor Shipmans
How many would we need to wipe out all the ancient racists who voted for this pointless shite?

Benny.
Let's just abandon universal suffrage when you don't get the results you want. You're the kind of cunt that champions diversity, as long as it's not diversity of opinion. Legislate for thought crimes now! You're basically a fascist.

life expectancy is plateauing now anyway
The country just needs a couple of cold winters and a fuel crisis and we can put this whole ridiculous episode behind us

Euthanasia for old people that don't vote your way now!
After all, they've only paid tax all their lives, and they pay taxes on their estate beyond the grave, so fuck them, it's not like they've had a lifetime of listening to politicians fantasising.

Go easy on Benny
I guess he's just a millennial that's known no other life than one under the rule of the eu. He's probably been totally indoctrinated at school.
Look Benny, it's like this. A lot of people remember what it was like before.
They were promised time and again that it was just about trade and not creating a united states of europe.
Turns out they were lied to and it's exactly that.
Then some silly fucker gave us a chance to get out before we are completely assimilated. We took it.
Now I don't know about you but i'm looking forward to the chance to create something different. It might be better or it might be worse depending on your priorities. The key thing being that it's our choice now.
