Members of NHS Scotland's largest union have voted to accept the Scottish Government's latest pay offer. In a Unison ballot where 54 per cent of workers voted, 78.5 per cent elected to accept the offer.
Another union, GMB Scotland, accepted the pay offer earlier this week. The pay offer – which was made to 160,000 NHS staff, including nurses, midwives and paramedics – equates to an average 6.5 per cent increase in 2023/24.
It also includes the commitment to modernising Agenda for Change, which is nearly 20 years old, to support workforce recruitment, sustainability and retention.
