There is an interesting article by Robert Colville in the ST today about nurses pay.
He reckons that the row over the 1% pay rise is something of a red herring. He says that "automatic pay progression" is the norm, the 2018 pay deal was supposed to end this, but didn't, and that for many nurses the 1% pay rise will be on top of an annual incremental increase within pay band. He also reckons that because of this system annual nurses pay has been going up by an average of 2.7% for a fair while now.
Is he right? It sounds plausible, but I don't know anything about his the NHS pay structure works.
