A million NHS workers agree to pay rise worth 6.5% over three years

Members of 13 unions in England accept deal to end 1% pay cap but GMB rejects it

More than 1 million NHS workers in England are to receive a pay rise worth at least 6.5% over the next three years after the deal was accepted by 13 unions representing staff.

The rise comes after seven years of a 1% pay cap on salaries, which caused resentment among NHS workers.
