The pay rise recommendation of 2.8% is seen by unions as insufficient, only marginally above inflation, reflecting ongoing struggles in recruitment and retention across public sectors.
Unison criticized the proposed pay increase as 'barely above the cost of living,' warning that it would fail to address the ongoing recruitment and retention 'crisis'.
The British Medical Association stated that the 2.8% pay rise 'indicates a poor grasp of the unresolved issues from two years of industrial action.'
Prof Nicola Ranger from the Royal College of Nursing called the pay recommendation 'deeply offensive,' stressing that it fails to recognize the true value of nursing staff.
