Developments on Pay: NHS England
Health Unions in Northern Ireland and our regional negotiating team today received a report on a new pay offer made to the UK NHS Staff Council Trade Union Side.
We have as yet no offer to consider.
This offer delivers a non-consolidated [one-off] sum to close the 2022/23 dispute, and a consolidated/recurrent, pay offer for 2023/24.
This raises questions for trade unions on how and when our members will be made an offer.
Health Unions in Northern Ireland are asking if new money is available. We have heard that the Barnett formula will apply and we are now asking if funding will fully cover a deal for our members in our integrated Health Service.
We now insist, in the absence of an NI Executive and a Health Minister, that the Secretary of State and the NIO answer this important and pressing question.
All trade unions remain in dispute on pay. In the meantime, planned Industrial Action by a number of unions is due to continue throughout the Northern Ireland Health Service.
