NHS staff strikes have been halted after negotiations between trade unions and the Scottish Government saw a “final” improved pay offer tabled.
Humza Yousaf has said that newly qualified nurses will see a rise in their wages of around eight point seven per cent and that other staff would see a seven point five per cent increase on average as part of the deal.
This means that NHS workers on the frontline will see rises ranging between £2,205 to £2,751 if union members decide to take the offer. For those on the lowest pay bands, this will represent an increase of 11.3 per cent.
