NHS STAFF represented by Unison Cymru have voted to accept the devolved Labour government’s improved pay offer, the public services union announced today.

Almost four out of five of its members backed the deal, which amounts a 5 per cent wage boost for 2022-23 and an additional one-off payment for this financial year worth up to £1,190 for some staff.

Other health unions are also consulting their members on the offer before a key meeting with ministers in Cardiff later this month.
