Welsh NHS workers reject 3.3% pay rise, calling it a real-terms cut amid 4.2% inflation.
Welsh NHS staff, including nurses and support workers, are disappointed with a 3.3% pay rise, calling it a real-terms pay cut amid 4.2% inflation.
Unions argue the increase fails to address rising living costs and undermines retention, criticizing the government’s reliance on a rejected UK-wide pay review body.
While the Welsh Government claims the rise exceeds projected inflation and includes backdated structural reforms, unions demand direct pay talks and point to Scotland’s more favorable negotiation model.
The pay increase, effective April 1, 2026, applies across all Agenda for Change grades, with lowest-paid workers receiving up to 5.9%.
