AN NHS pay rise hailed by Health Secretary Humza Yousaf as the largest since devolution has been branded a “kick in the teeth” and “deeply insulting” by unions.
Health workers have been offered a flat pay uplift of £2205 – backdated to April – with the offer coming after talks that stretched into the early hours of Friday, according to the Scottish Government.
The offer would mean the lowest paid staff would see their pay increase by more than 11%.
