My wife declined the offer in the end. The 1% for next 2 years after initial increase really struck hard with herMy suspicion is that the government have been holding out until the nurses accept their offer (decision is released today) and then they can give a higher amount to the junior doctors and the nurses aren't allowed to go back and complain once they have accepted (no strikes for 2 years has been agreed if the offer is accepted I believe).

I've read those details before but I can't find them anywhere. I don't think that was correct though. It was essentially a return to the PRB for the following two years and the expected rise in salaries for all sectors was nominally assumed to be 1%. That number will change depending on conditions at the time. The PRB isn't fit for purpose and always goes lower than inflation and sides with the government but I would expect next years increase to be somewhere between 1% and average pay inflation (probably half of private sector pay inflation).My wife declined the offer in the end.

The government being completely wrong is nothing new of course.That’ll work out well when the offer is refused….
