Malone urges trusts to find quick pay deal solutions

Article Abstract:

Health trusts are being urged to act quickly and offer local pay deals of 1.5%-3% or else the Pay Review Body may completely change direction on local pay schemes, says Health Minister Gerald Malone. However, all the nursing unions are angered by the conditions that have been attached to the pay awards already announced. Offers have been indicated by 185 of the 520 trusts, with 146 of the offers worth 3% or higher. Managers are being warned not to impose unpopular pay deals.
