An endangered body?

Article Abstract:

The future of the Nurses Pay Review Body (PRB) is threatened by the British Government's imposition of a 1.5% pay limit for 1993 and National Health Service Trust status. The PRB will tested in 1994 through nursing pressure to restore pay levels. However, independent trusts will not be obliged to follow the recommendations. Some believe PRBs will still have a central negotiating role but the emphasis will be on recommendation rather than settlement.

Lost hopes

Article Abstract:

Trends in nursing pay between 1988 and 1993 suggest little hope for future settlements. Clinical grading, initiated in 1988, seemed to herald an effective pay structure. However, subsequent awards of 6.8% in 1989, 9.6% in 1990, 9.5% in 1991 and 5.8% in 1992 have been disappointing. Nurses' representatives have rejected the 1993 award of 1.5% as unacceptable. Performance-related pay and job evaluation may further limit wage settlements.
