RCN to host virtual march to Downing Street under fair pay campaign Number 10 Downing Street, London Source:  Sergeant Tom Robinson RLC Nurses are being urged to take their fight for a fair and significant pay rise to the prime minister’s door by joining a virtual march to Downing Street this week. On Thursday evening the Royal College of Nursing will be hosting a virtual march across the UK as part of its Fair Pay For Nursing campaign, which calls for a 12.5% pay rise for nursing staff on Agenda for Change contracts.

New bill would force MP vote on nurse pay offer below 2 1%

The law would require government to “present their recommendations for anything below the already approved minimum increase of 2.1% and seek agreement, from the House, of any new proposal”, said Ms Harris. Ms Harris, who is the parliamentary private secretary to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, highlighted the efforts of nurses and colleagues throughout the pandemic. NHS staff are the “very best of Britain and they deserve to be given the credit and the reward for everything that they have done and everything they have sacrificed to keep the rest of us safe”, she said. The first reading of the NHS Pay Award Bill was backed by 222 votes to nil.

NHS chief indicates nurses had been in line for 2 1% pay rise

Sir Simon was questioned on the matter today by Health and Social Care Committee chair and former health secretary, Jeremy Hunt. Mr Hunt asked: “The NHS Long Term Plan you put together after you and I negotiated extra funding in 2018 showed NHS salaries budgeted to increase by 2.1% this year, were you told of the government decision to recommend changing this to 1%? And if so, what reasons were you given?” In response, Sir Simon agreed that the plan had been a 2.1% rise but noted that things have changed in the two years since then. “But at the time, the working assumption was that there would be available 2.1% for the costs of the AfC pay group in 2021-22, together with the overhang from the 2021 elements of the multi-year AfC pay deal, added Sir Simon.
