The pay offer, made to 160,000 NHS staff, equates to an average 6.5 per cent increase
Members of NHS Scotland's largest union have voted to accept the Scottish Government's latest pay offer. In a Unison ballot where 54 per cent of workers voted, 78.5 per cent elected to accept the offer.
It also includes the commitment to modernising Agenda for Change, which is nearly 20 years old, to support workforce recruitment, sustainability and retention. “Government commitments to review the working week, deliver fair wage rises on promotion and tackle the workforce crisis must make rapid progress. They must also be backed up with new money to ensure patients and staff get the NHS they deserve.”
