NHS unions have reached a pay deal with the government after an extra £2.5bn was put on the table to increase wages for thousands of staff.
He said:"I hugely admire the incredible work of NHS staff, including during the pandemic and the progress they have made to tackle the resulting backlog. However, the union said members ultimately make the final decision and strikes will still be paused while they consult on the offer. Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said if the offer is accepted it would be a"huge uplift for the lowest paid to keep them well above the Real Living Wage".
Ms Harrison said progress has also been made on non-pay demands, such as addressing violence in the workplace.
