Boris Johnson under pressure to follow pay rise in NHS England
Boris Johnson is facing pressure to increase a proposed pay rise for NHS staff, after more than 150,000 health workers in Scotland have been told their pay packets will be upped by 4%.
Medics in England are faced with the prospect of just a 1% pay rise in line with the Government's submission to the NHS pay review body.
A union has said the Westminster Government should be "shamed into following the Scottish example".
Head of health at Unison Sara Gorton said: "This shows where there's a political will there's most definitely a way.
"Valuing health staff and investing in the NHS is a political choice.
"One that Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak are choosing not to make.
"After a long and difficult year, a decent pay rise for NHS staff should be a simple decision to make and popular with the public.
"The Westminster Government should learn from the approach being adopted north of the border on NHS pay and be shamed into following the Scottish example."
Ministers have previously argued that 1% is all that can be afforded due to the pandemic and as other public sector workers face a pay freeze.
