P-04-586 All NHS Wales staff to be Paid at Least the Hourly Living Wage Rate of £7.65.
We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to recognise the
vital work undertaken by staff working for the NHS in Wales, and urge the Welsh
Government to implement the recommendation made by the NHS pay review body, and
ensure that all NHS Wales staff are paid at least the hourly living wage rate
of £7.65.
Additional
Information:
NHS staff do some of
the hardest jobs in the world – saving lives, caring for people, and helping us
stay healthy. It is essential that NHS staff are rewarded appropriately for the
work that they do as they are undeniably worth it. The UK government has
decided not to implement the recommendation made by the Pay Review Body (PRB)
and UNISON believes that this is an insult to staff in England. We believe that
the National Assembly and the Welsh Government should do all they can to stand
up for NHS workers in Wales, and that must include awarding staff the PRB
recommendation and ensuring staff are paid at least an hourly living wage rate.
