The Department of Health and Social Care has submitted its evidence to the NHS Pay Review Body, which sets out what it believes NHS staff should be paid and what it says the health service can afford in 2027-28. For nursing staff, the pay increase proposed is 2.4%. Read the full story ⬇

“A proposed pay award of 2.4% is on course to be below inflation and would be a betrayal of nursing staff in our NHS,” says Professor Nicola Ranger, our General Secretary and Chief Executive, in response to recommendations published today. (1/2)
