P-05-1089 Wales should lead on bringing NHS pay back in line with inflation costs over the last 10 years

This petition was submitted by Dyfan Roberts having collected a total of 190 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Since April 2010 some NHS staff have had their pay decreased by as much as 20.51% in line with inflation.

It’s time the Welsh assembly discuss about forming a new pay deal that will be taking place in 2021 and drastically reduce or eliminate the loss front line workers have been subject to over the last 10 years.

Last time we were given a pay rise it was a replica of Westminsters deal! It’s time WAG acted first and gave the NHS a deal it deserves.

Status

This petition was considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 02/03/2021.

The Committee considered the correspondence received, the further response from the Minister and his commitment that the Welsh Government will keep all options open for when the recommendations of the independent pay review are made. However, given the fact that this is not expected until May 2021 and the timescales are set by UK Government, there is little further action that the Committee could take at this time. Therefore, Members reiterated their support and agreed to close the petitions and thank the petitioners.
