Closed petition Fair pay for NHS staff

Closed on 30 March 2015

I'm angry that hardworking NHS staff are being told that they are not worth a decent pay rise.

They have suffered from a succession of wage freezes,pay caps and rising living costs.

This year’s NHS pay offer means:

different rates of pay in different parts of the UK

only those at the top of their band get a pay rise, with nothing added to hourly rates

incremental progression being used as a substitute for the cost of living uplift

I want the Westminster Government to provide proper funding for the NHS and to work across the four UK governments to deliver a settlement which:

begins to reinstate the value of NHS pay lost since 2010

pays the Living Wage to the lowest paid health staff

reinstates UK-wide pay scales, lifting pay up to the best achievable rates

a commitment from all four countries to national bargaining structures, maintaining and promoting Agenda for Change terms and conditions
