THE UK government has agreed to a pay deal for nurses and ambulance staff amid a wave of strikes. The revised offer will see the two groups receive a 5% pay rise in 2023-24, according to Bloomberg …
Talks have been on and off for several months, with a key battleground the issue of when any pay increase would come into effect.
Ministers were keen to limit talks to discussion of future pay increases, while union bosses insisted on reopening the already agreed settlement for this year. Members of the Royal College of Nursing voted to strike for the first time in the institution's history late last year. Pat Cullen, General Secretary of the RCN, said that her members had been "left with no alternative" but to strike when the vote was announced in September.
