NHS Staff Council met this afternoon. The majority of NHS staff and their unions, including UNISON, voted to accept the pay offer.
Our strike action forced the government to make a better offer. Now it needs to be implemented swiftly.

UNISON head of health Sara Gorton, who chairs the union group on the NHS staff council, said:
"NHS workers will now want the pay rise they've voted to accept. The hope is that the one-off payment and salary increase will be in June's pay packets.
"But health staff shouldn’t have needed to take action in the first place. Unions made clear to ministers last summer that £1,400 wasn't enough to stop staff leaving the NHS, nor prevent strikes. But the government wouldn't listen.
A wonderful moment at a wonderful conference.
Absolutely incredible effort from everyone, but in particular the branches that led the largest ever wave of strike action in the NHS.

The government has written to us with a formal invitation for negotiations on NHS pay.
We still need clarity on a number of points so we can understand whether this is a serious proposal. As it stands, we are continuing preparations for strike on March 8.
