The pay deal - which was made to 160,000 NHS staff, equates to an average 6.5% increase in 2023/24.
Unison Scotland's health committee chairwoman Wilma Brown said: "While acceptance of this pay offer removes the spectre of industrial action, there is no room for complacency."Government commitments to review the working week, deliver fair wage rises on promotion and tackle the workforce crisis must make rapid progress."
She added that it must also be backed up with new money to ensure patients and staff got the NHS they deserved. The union's head of health Matt Mclaughlin said: "This deal was agreed after intensive talks between the government, unions and employers.He added that patients were waiting too long for routine operations and staff were working under unacceptably stressful conditions.
"Unison has agreed to go straight back into talks with the government to review nursing, reduce staff vacancies and look again at NHS pay structures," Mr Mclaughlin said.Related Topics
