NHS pay dispute resolved with new agreement.

NHS staff in England, excluding doctors, have been offered a 5% pay rise from April and a one-off payment of at least £1,655 to top up the past year's pay award. Unions are recommending members back the deal after nearly two weeks of talks with ministers. The Royal College of Nursing, Unison, and the GMB have all said they are backing the deal, while Unite has said it cannot recommend it to members, but it will put it out to vote. The offer covers all NHS staff except doctors, who are on a different contract.
