New Wales NHS pay offer to be put to unions

The Royal College of Nursing in Wales has received a revised NHS pay offer from the Welsh government. Wales' health minister Eluned Morgan has confirmed that a pay deal with a "significant enhancement" on the original will be put to NHS workers.

The new offer, which has taken several weeks to reach, builds on the first offer from the Welsh government that added to the Pay Review Body (PRB) award which was rejected by members. It now includes a one-off 3% payment, backdated to last year, and a 5% offer from the start of this month.

Unite said it was still below inflation while the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said it was less than it wanted.
