NHS strike dates have been suspended after the Government agreed a new pay deal with unions, which staff will now vote on
the pay offer to NHS workers
This 6 per cent payment for this financial year consists of the 4 per cent already on the table, plus a one-off payment of 2 per cent the Government has called an “NHS Backlog Bonus” worth at least £1,250 per person. There will be further discussions between DHSC and the Treasury over how it will be funded – the agreement is set to cost the Government £2.5bn.
He said: “Obviously the starting position from a number of the unions was much higher and so both sides have worked together to reach a settlement which is both affordable to the wider taxpayer and then balances the very real pressures we recognise that NHS workers have been on.”As a result of the new deal, strikes involving nurses and other NHS workers – which have disrupted services in recent months – have been paused.
