NHS Scotland workers could see 8% pay increase
A new pay offer for NHS staff for this year has been made by the Scottish government, despite some unions still being in dispute over last year's deal.
He said: "Over the two years of this £1bn of increased investment in NHS Agenda for Change, a newly qualified nurse would see their pay increase by 15.8%, and experienced nurses at the top of band 5 would see their pay improve by over £4,700. "It's good to see that the government has listened and come forward with an offer for next year, a good few weeks ahead of 1 April. The union will begin its consultation with NHS members as soon as possible."
"That means over two years Unison will have secured a pay rise of over 14% for most registered nurses and almost 20% for the lowest paid in the NHS."Its director Colin Poolman said: "Negotiations are the preferable way to resolve disputes so it was the correct decision to see these negotiations through to their conclusion. The very strong strike mandate from RCN members in Scotland is what brought the Scottish government back to the negotiating table.
