NHS workers vote to accept an 8% pay increase - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Unite members across NHS Scotland have accepted the pay offer over two years on the basis it is the best negotiable deal."
"The offer includes a critical clause which ensures pay remains inflation proof."
NHS workers in Scotland, represented by the Unite union, have approved an 8% pay increase to be distributed over the next two years, specifically 4.25% in the first year and 3.75% in 2026. The Scottish government will allocate an additional £191 million for critical support roles like ambulance services and porters. A key aspect of this agreement includes an inflation guarantee, ensuring pay levels stay at least 1% above the CPI. Union leaders emphasize the importance of this deal in improving NHS worker conditions while highlighting the need for broader reforms in working hours and overall investment.
