Health workers press PM to end wait over pay rise decision

HEALTH workers pressed the Prime Minister today to end their long wait for a proper pay rise, as anger continues over the Tory government’s recommendation of a real-terms cut.

Unison staged a protest in Westminster today over the proposed 1 per cent rise, as thousands of health workers await Boris Johnson’s imminent decision on the matter.

NHS staff were due a pay rise in April, but ministers said that they would await the recommendations of the NHS Pay Review Body, which is expected to deliver its report within days.
