Wiltshire and BANES medics miss out on £2000 pay deal

Hundreds of health workers in west England say they're missing out on thousands of pounds in the latest deal over payHundreds of medics working for a private company are missing out on a pay deal worth on average £2000.

The government said local health bosses should finance the 5% pay award, which also included a one-off payment.Health Care Resourcing Group said it was "very unfair" that their employees will be paid less than NHS workers. So this will mean that, for example, a newly registered band five NHS nurse would receive a one-off payment of over £2000.Image caption,But HCRG, which provides community staff including nurses and physios in Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire and Swindon, said this non-consolidated part of the pay deal was not funded by the Department of Health and Social Care .

Lanre Amosu, Royal College of Nursing representative in Bristol, accused the government of creating a "two tier system", leaving some nurses behind.
