One thing is certain, we've got potentially interesting times ahead. We've just been offered a flat rate pay rise of £1925, which is 10.5% for the lowest paid but I've been in meetings where even those who will be getting the largest percentage have accepted any extra money they'd get being more than swallowed by increasing prices early next year, so already don't think of it as a pay rise.
Add to this how insulted NHS staff will feel with the offer of a £1400 pay rise and who knows what could happen. If the nurses are considering industrial action what does that say?
