The Northern Ireland Department of Health has finally accepted the Pay Review Bodies recommendations on pay for HSC staff on Agenda for Change terms and conditions for 2024/25.

In consultation with members working for the NHS in England and Scotland, the BDA Trade Union has accepted the 5.5% pay offer from both governments.

The 2024 NHS Pay Review Body (PRB) report has now been published and the BDA is pleased to see that the government has agreed to implement the recommended 5.5% pay award for Agenda for Change staff in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Members working in Health and Social Care Northern Ireland are now being consulted on the latest pay offer made by the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Proper investment in NHS staff is essential for both the UK’s economic success and if there's to be any hope of filling record staff vacancies, health unions say.

This unnecessary proposal is totally unacceptable to the BDA and the other Agenda for Change unions.

Members of the British Dietetic Association (BDA), working in Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) join thousands of other workers in unprecedented strike action today.

We are currently balloting respective BDA members on the recent announcement on Pay for NHS staff in England and NHS Staff in Wales.

Health unions representing more than a million NHS staff in England - including the BDA - have reacted with dismay to the NHS pay rise of £1,400 announced by the government.

The BDA is to begin consulting members in NHS Scotland on a pay offer of 5%.
