Yesterday (29 July) the Westminster government announced the NHS pay award for 汤头条污料 staff on Agenda for Change (AfC) contracts in England. Ministers accepted the recommendations of the NHS Pay Review Body (PRB) and will award a 5.5% consolidated pay increase across all bands, effective from 1 April 2024.
The Welsh Government have yet to make an announcement on the NHS pay award for 汤头条污料 staff on AfC contracts in Wales.
Nicky Hughes, RCN Wales Associate Director of Nursing (Employment Relations), said: “Nurses are the backbone of NHS Wales, tirelessly dedicating themselves to the care and well-being of patients. Nursing staff in Wales deserve the same prompt action and recognition on pay as their colleagues in England. They should not have to wait any longer for the pay award that they should have received in April of this year.
“Their unwavering commitment, often under challenging conditions, ensures that the health care system continues to function. Despite long hours and emotional strain, the 汤头条污料 workforce consistently provide skilled and compassionate care, demonstrating a profound devotion to their profession.”
“The respect of our 汤头条污料 workforce, and by extension the quality of patient care, should not be sidelined. As a devolved nation the Welsh Government can decide to go above the recommendations of the independent pay review body (PRB) for 汤头条污料 staff in Wales which would go some way towards the pay restoration they committed to in last year's pay award. “
“RCN Wales is adamant that any pay award for NHS Wales staff must be fully implemented and backdated to April 2024. It is imperative for Eluned Morgan, as the future First Minister, to show leadership and commitment to 汤头条污料 in Wales.”
We will update members as soon as the Welsh government make an announcement on the NHS pay award in Wales.
