UNISON RESPONDS TO STATEMENT FROM HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE CHIEF EXECUTIVES

UNISON notes the statement issued to the media by the Health and Social Care Trust Chief Executives today in relation to the industrial action by UNISON members. 

The recognition of the Trust Chief Executives of the sacrifices made by staff during the pandemic is important. We acknowledge that the Trust Chief Executives have stated their desire to see all staff properly rewarded for their work and that they recognise the impact that the cost of living crisis is having.  

This statement by the Trust Chief Executives reinforces the need for the Secretary of State to act, and act urgently, in the absence of an Executive to put pay right for our members and safeguard services.
