Health unions to ballot members on new pay offer

Health unions across the country have announced that they will be conducting a ballot of their members on a new pay offer from the government. The offer includes a significant increase in pay for healthcare workers, in recognition of their hard work and dedication during the ongoing pandemic.

The unions have praised the government for listening to their demands and addressing the issue of low pay in the healthcare sector. However, they have emphasized the need for further improvements in working conditions and staffing levels to ensure the well-being of both patients and staff.

The ballot will allow union members to have their say on whether to accept or reject the pay offer. The results of the ballot will then be used to inform the unions’ next steps in negotiations with the government.
