"NHS staff are to receive a 3% pay rise backdated to April. I know there are plenty who will argue this still isn't enough but can we at least agree that this is better than the 1%. " Yep I agree on both accounts, its still not really enough but at least its a better than the original 1% offering as you say. | |||

"This excludes nearly all doctors and many nurses as well. It’s a bit of a PR stunt." in the current climate would you say doctors need the 3% ? | |||

"This excludes nearly all doctors and many nurses as well. It’s a bit of a PR stunt." The pay rise does not include doctors and dentists in training who have their own separate, multi-year contracts. Can you provide the info on your claim? | |||

"Apparently the unions are gonna reject it and call for industrial action. Good on them "Both Unite and Unison say its a step in the right direction. Why would they strike now but not after 1% was announced? | |||

"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57924271" Our next steps will be to consult with our members about their view on the award. "And once we have their view - which we suspect will be to say they are unhappy about the level - we will then be considering with them what the next steps might be, which could include consideration of industrial action most certainly." How that translates to your claim I have no idea  | |||

"This may be an unpopular opinion but, is now really the time for ANYBODY public sector to be receiving a pay rise? " Well considering there has been nearly a decade of pay feezes/pay caps, I'd say its long overdue. | |||

"Well all is not what it seems. According to the Guardian today the NHS has to fund part of the increase itself with cost savings. More bullshit from Boris and Co. So when little Jonny’s operation is cancelled or aunt maud dies because her drugs are too costly., who ya gonna blame? Yep the nurses and their outrageous greed, not the government ! " Heard that yday. There was someone from.the BMa on the radio saying there is no way,it wont be toom out of the front line services budget. | |||

"In all honesty I think the NHS is badly run from an admin point of view. Far too many managers . The fact there’s 1 admin back office for every front line worker is just crazy. What other organisation providing a service could survive with those overheads? I’m not saying for one moment how to fix it as I don’t have a clue but personal family members show me the gravy train of a lot of senior people in the NHS Maybe a saving would be it the bank contractors pay . How can they leave and come back a fortnight later on twice the cost? Procurement and HR needs to sort this out. Offer the flexible working that contracting gives but pay pro rata. Manage it rather than outsourcing . I can only comment on what I’ve been told by family members and I’m sure their views aren’t 100% true across the board. I also want to balance this as I witnessed first hand a secretary at an outpatients clinic, greeting , sorting paperwork, answering the phones and she carried this out all alone as four nurses just took papered backwards and forwards to the consultants. No nursing involved as that was undertaken by other nurses. That is appalling management and totally unfair on that harassed receptionist. I wonder how many managers she has above her! Please don’t let my moaning detract from the amazing people we do have in the NHS. I’m just a grumpy tax payer . Well done all of you for handling Covid in such a nightmare scenario . " Reorganisation after reorganisation with the creation of "internal markets" and there measurement get a huge organisation into this sort of situation. I agree that there are a lot of improvements possible, but the starting point is understanding what is supposed to be happening! | |||

"I'm just waiting to see how much the MPs are going to get " More than the nurses i will wager, and will any of them turn it down and say give to the nurses and front line workers you deserve it the most?, I very much doubt, they will all take there money and smile sweetly no matter which party they belong too. | |||

"1% is a 2.7% real terms pay cut 3% is a 0.7% real terms pay cut How did you get to those figures?" Inflation is predicted to be 3.7% so anyone getting a pay ‘rise’ less than that is getting v a real terms pay cut. | |||

If that figure does come true then the majority of people in this country won't be getting a pay rise at all, there is just no way that many businesses already on there arse are going to be able to afford those sorts of rises in the current economic climate. | |||

I didn't say that at all, my comment was purely in relation to the comment on inflation.If you check my posts earlier in the thread you will so I do believe they should get far more so you can get off your high horse because I am someone who lost a loved one. | |||

A chunk of the pay rise that the government is "giving" will, apparently, come out of the existing NHS budget too.
They never had it so good yes I know they’ve had it hard but lots of other workers have aswell they all deserve more but personally I don’t think it’s the time to be pushing for it now get covid sorted first
Except this is after the government told them they would be getting only 1%
You're saying that they should have said thank you very much even though it was insulting after ministers took every opportunity to be filmed clapping for them? where did I say that ???
You don't think that they should be pushing for fair pay. They should just quietly carry on working themselves to exhaustion, right? . Didn’t you read where I said they deserve more then ? I just think mows not the time amd like iv said many times before they weren’t the only ones who worked hard through the pandemic
That's fine.
You are still saying that they should continue working u der intense pressure during Covid and then catching up after and not complain.
Theg should have accepted the 1% offered, without complaint, because them working is more important.
Theg should only do something about this at some unspecified point in the future, right?
After Covid is "over", even though it's never going away?
After they have caught up on the urgent backlog?
After they have caught up on the non-urgent backlog?no I’m not I think you need to go to specsavers mate I know covid won’t go away I just think it could be done after it’s under control and people arnt dying
Rather than being rude, how about considering what I have just asked. When will the this be "under control"?
Is Covid finished after nobody is being admitted to hospital? Is it finished after they have caught up with the backlog of delayed treatments? The serious ones or all of the others too?
It's the NHS. People are always dying.
So they should or should not have agreed to the 1% offer that was made by the Government during the on-going pandemic?I don’t think anyone on fab can tell you when covid will be over look read my posts I’m all for them getting a rise but I just think in the middle of a pandemic is not the best time for it what part of that don’t you understand iv said it several times now fgs"You have said that NHS staff should not be discussing pay during a pandemjc, but only after it's finished. Nobody can define when it will be "finished". I have provided three options which you have declined to choose from or to select your own option. NHS staff were told by Government that they would get 1%. You have said that they should get more but also should not discuss theatter until some unspecified point in the future (see above). That implicitly means acceptance of a derisory pay rise. 3% was only offered (out of existing NHS funding) because there was a popular backlash.

I think anywhere between 10% and 15% would be reasonable, the important thing is that it be government funded, not from within existing NHS budget. | |||

"The good work done by the NHS is marked in my opinion by the lack of information on waiting lists. Any request to know where a patient is on a waiting list is met with blank looks and shrugged shoulders like it's some big secret that patients can't be trusted with. " It’s pretty impossible to tell people where they are on a waiting list at the best of times, let alone at the moment. If you start telling people they are number 48 on the list then other people get operated on before them, due to clinical need, they get annoyed. It may seem like a simple thing but attempting to plan more than a couple of weeks ahead when it comes to surgery, unless it is cancer you are talking about, is a fool’s errand. | |||

During the height of the first wave, ministers took every opportunity to say how wonderful the NHS was, and how the amazing nurses etc should be properly rewarded when everything got better. Then as soon as the wave was over, the message changed to there is no money, NHS workers will be "rewarded" by kind words (and wasn't there some kind of "here's a pretty badge instead of money" at one point? Or maybe that was a different occasion when government shat on the NHS workers) but on twelfth of never in a year or three we might think about it again. Yes we all know that there actually is no money for pay rises. Except for the infinite pot of money that can be funneled through shell companies run by ministers relatives and friends. Except for the infinite pot of money that can be thrown away on any vanity project of Johnson's. Except for the money that is always instantly available to spend on tory constituencies if there is the slightest chance of a tory losing their seat. Except for the money that is always available for MP's pay rises and expenses. So if any essential work force do not ask now, they are never going to get a damn thing. | |||

Do you think after all this time working flat out they should even have to fight for a half decent pay rise?" Some people on here spend a lot of time equating working in a hospital full of very seriously ill and dying patients to working at Tesco. Yes shop workers have experienced a certain amount of risk during the pandemic but they have not worked in areas full of Covid + patients who can seem reasonably ok at the start of a shift and within a couple of hours be dead or on a ventilator. Sitting on a till at Tesco is not the same as sitting with a dying man, terrified because he is going to die without his family around him. The mental trauma experienced by our nurses, doctors and health care assistants can not, and should not, be underestimated. Anyone who thinks that NHS staff do not deserve a healthy pay rise immediately needs to take a long hard look in the mirror because frankly I’d question their humanity. | |||
