Two of the country’s biggest health unions have voted to accept a new deal – the biggest wage rise since devolution – which will see most workers receive an additional £2205 a year.
And while other unions have still to reveal the results of their ballot, it is understood the vote in favour by the biggest health union Unison should be enough to end the threats of industrial action.
