GMB members in Wales accept NHS pay offer

GMB members in Wales have voted to accept the revised NHS pay offer from Welsh Government.

The consultative ballot, which closed on the 15 May, saw a majority of more than 65 per cent of GMB members voting to accept with a 60 per cent turnout.

Nathan Holman, GMB Wales NHS Lead Officer, said:

“GMB members have voted to accept the offer - however we recognise many of our members are not happy with the deal.

“We will continue to hold the Welsh Government to account by pushing for restorative pay increases.

“It is vital that we bring our members’ pay back up to the levels they would have received had we not had the years of pay freezes. “

“GMB union will now meet with Welsh Government and NHS Employers to progress and implement the non-pay elements of this deal.”
