The NHS staff council voted to accept a pay deal covering both 2022-23 and 2023-24 thrashed out between the health secretary, Steve Barclay, and unions, which all but one recommended. Tuesday’s meeting came amid a split among the health unions. Several of them, including Unison, the GMB, and those representing midwives and physiotherapists, had voted to accept the deal. But others, including the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Unite, had rejected it. Despite those differences of opinion, the unions that had accepted the offer had enough voting strength to ensure the staff council voted to do the same.
