NHS workers in Scotland, represented by the Unite union, have approved an 8% pay increase to be distributed over the next two years, specifically 4.25% in the first year and 3.75% in 2026. The Scottish government will allocate an additional £191 million for critical support roles like ambulance services and porters. A key aspect of this agreement includes an inflation guarantee, ensuring pay levels stay at least 1% above the CPI. Union leaders emphasize the importance of this deal in improving NHS worker conditions while highlighting the need for broader reforms in working hours and overall investment.
Unite members across NHS Scotland have accepted the pay offer over two years on the basis it is the best negotiable deal.
The offer includes a critical clause which ensures pay remains inflation proof.
