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.
Members in Scotland accepted the offer with a 91% yes vote. At an NHS Scotland terms and conditions meeting, where all health unions were present, it was reported that there was unanimous acceptance.
In England, 83% of respondents accepted the pay award. We await confirmation as to when the first uprated pay, for those staff on Agenda for Change in both nations will be received and will update members as soon as we know.
Whilst we are pleased that this settlement has been reached, we are aware that there is still work to be done to achieve pay restoration and we will continue to work with our sister unions on future improvements.
Thank you to all members who participated in the consultation as it is your voice that counts.
Formal offer from the Scottish Government.
