The NHS in Wales will become a living wage employer, Health Minister Mark Drakeford announced today.
All staff will be paid at least the living wage of £7.65 an hour – more than the minimum wage rate of £6.31 an hour – as part of the change, which will come into force from September.
This means that about 2,400 of the lowest paid employees in the NHS in Wales will receive an increase in their basic salary of up to £470 in some cases.
The Living Wage Commission has called for all public sector workers to be paid a living wage of at least £7.65 per hour.
