Ministers accused of being ‘happy to let public suffer’ over NHS pay row

Ministers accused of being ‘happy to let public suffer’ over NHS pay row Unison has accused the government of being “happy to let the public suffer” by dragging out the NHS pay dispute before Friday’s action by as many as 15,000 ambulance workers.

As firefighters called off planned strikes after securing an improved pay offer from employers, Unison highlighted the contrast with the NHS, where ministers have declined to reopen the 2022 settlement. The Guardian
