The NHS pay debate continues, with potential strike action looming. Pay review bodies have suggested a roughly 3% pay rise for NHS staff, exceeding the government's budgeted 2.8%. However, Downing Street insists there will be no extra cash to fund the increase, meaning the rise must come from existing budgets. Unions, such as the Royal College of Nursing, are already pushing back, stating the rise must be above inflation and not impact frontline services. Meanwhile, Scotland has offered a more generous 8% increase over two years, putting pressure on England to improve its offer and avoid further industrial action. #NHSfunding #PayFair 📢
