The government must rethink its decision to impose a pay cut on NHS staff in England. On 13 October 2014, NHS workers who are members of several health unions, including members of the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists (GHP), started a campaign of industrial action over pay for the first time in more than 30 years.
The reason for the action was that, for NHS staff working in England, the government decided to ignore the independent NHS Pay Review Body’s (PRB) recommendation of a 1% pay rise for all staff. Instead, it said only those staff at the top of the payscale will receive any uplift to their salary in the form of a 1% non-consolidated payment. All other staff will receive no pay award. The Scottish Government has implemented the PRB recommendation for all NHS employees. The government’s justification for not awarding a pay rise to a large number of staff in England is that they will receive an incremental rise instead.
