NHS staff in Wales will receive a 3% pay rise – backdated to April, the Welsh Government has confirmed.
Health Minister Eluned Morgan said she had accepted the recommended increase from the NHS Pay Review Body and the Doctors and Dentist Review Body (DDRB) and thanked Welsh NHS staff for their “extraordinary efforts”.
The rise – the same pay increase as announced for NHS workers in England – applies to nurses, cleaners, porters, health support workers, consultants, doctors in training, GPs and dentists among others.
Medics in Wales said they were “extremely disappointed” that the Welsh Government did not go above the 3%.
