A number of staff groups remain in formal dispute with the Government over pay.
During his head-to-head TV debate with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Sunak said: “We have now settled pay rises with everyone in the NHS except for the junior doctors, and of course I want to do that, to make sure it’s fair and affordable though.”
But leading unions said that some doctor groups and nurses remain in dispute with the Government over pay. The prime minister was wrong to say that junior doctors are the only NHS workforce in dispute. SAS doctors are currently considering an offer from Government and GPs remain in dispute over the most recent contract imposed by the Government in England.on X: “The prime minister was wrong to say that junior doctors are the only NHS workforce in dispute.
To be clear Prime Minister, we have not reached an NHS pay settlement for nursing – our members rejected the government's offer and remain in dispute. We expect whoever forms the next government to start direct negotiations on nursing pay during the summer.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
