NHS staff face "another year of financial hardship", unions have said, after the government announced that the majority of health service workers would receive a 1% pay rise from next month. The rise ? less than half the current CPI inflation rate of 2.7% ? means staff are in effect having their pay cut following two years of pay freezes, unions said.
Around 60% of NHS employees covered by the "agenda for change" contracts will be receiving a 1% rise, the government said. This includes nurses and paramedics, who currently earn ?21,176 a year, and healthcare assistants, porters and maintenance staff, who earn just over ?14,000.
