Nurses to be balloted over 4% pay offer

Thu, 24 Feb 2022


Nurses on the Isle of Man are to be balloted over a proposed 4% pay rise offered by Manx Care.

Negotiations over the pay award have been ongoing since May last year.

The Royal College of Nursing has called for a 15% rise and a one-off payment for its 700-strong workforce.

Health Minister Lawrie Hooper will ask politicians to approve a £10m overspend in next month's Tynwald sitting.

The Union said: "Fair Pay for Nursing is about recognising the complexity of skill, responsibility and experience demonstrated every day our members and their colleagues as well as providing safe and effective care."
