NHS staff have been offered a "final" improved pay offer by the Scottish Government following days of negotiations with trade unions.
Humza Yousaf said a newly qualified nurse would see a wage rise of 8.7 per cent as a result of the deal - while other staff would get 7.5 per cent more on average.
The offer will mean front line workers will receive pay rises ranging from £2,205 to £2,751 if union members vote to accept them. For the lowest paid this represents an uplift of 11.3 per cent.
