More than one million NHS staff in England will start to receive increased salaries and one-off payments from today as the terms of the latest pay deal begin to take effect, the Government has said PMGallagher1 reports
Mr Barclay said: “More than one million of our hard-working NHS staff will begin to receive more money in their pay packet from today, including a backlog bonus for all their efforts during the pandemic.
“We’re giving nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists and other eligible staff a fair pay rise, which will see for example, band six staff getting an extra £5,000 over two years. We hugely value the work of NHS staff and the vital role they’re playing to cut waiting lists, which is one of the government’s five priorities, and recognises the work they put in day in and day out.”
The additional salaries and one-off payments will start to be paid from Thursday, with individual employers in the NHS paying staff on different days. RCN members affected by the deal are voting on whether to take further strike action, with the ballot due to close on 23 June. The union’s leadership had urged members to accept the improved pay offer but members rejected the deal by 54 per cent to 46 per cent.– their pay is far from fair and appropriate. It in no way matches the value or importance of nursing staff who have experienced a real-terms pay cut for the last decade.and the very future of our NHS – not just for their pay.
Unite members from across the Guy’s and St Thomas’ workforce, including nurses and other frontline workers, will stage a 24-hour strike on Thursday as they continue to oppose the deal. This will be followed by a strike by Unite members employed at the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, including paramedics and call handlers, striking on 2 June for up to seven hours from 2pm.
