Pay Matters
UNISON has joined together with other NHS unions in a bid to activate the 'reopener' clause in the NHS pay deal in the light of rising infaltion.

An individual postal ballot of 452,000 members working in the NHS saw 64.91% of of those taking part vote to accept the three-year offer worth 8.1% - and more to some members

"Hardworking staff across the NHS accepted a three-year pay deal six months ago believing government and economic predictions that inflation had peaked and would start to fall," said UNISON head of health as the unions presented new evidence to the NHS pay review body.

"This clearly hasn't happened. No one then could have predicted the world-wide credit crunch or that inflation would hit a 16-year high."

Following the survey of UNISON Health members conducted during July / August, 1,756 responses were received. These responses have now been analysed and written up into the attached report that provides a comprehensive picture of the views and experiences of the staff who deliver our health service.
