- Carried
Conference underlines the critical importance of delivering 2022-23 pay outcomes for health workers across the UK that meet the aspirations of our members and the needs of the service.
Conference re-affirms the respective responsibilities of the Health Service Group Executive (HSGE) and the relevant Regional Health Committees (RHCs) in the devolved administrations to ensure that members are fully mobilised in the union’s fight for better pay; and fully engaged in decision-making on how the union responds to pay outcomes.
Conference therefore calls on:
1. The Health Service Group Executive to oversee the process of member consultation on outcomes in all 4 parts of the UK
2. The Health Service Group Executive to manage the digital consultation of members in England in response to the outcome of the Pay Review Body round for 2022-23 and make preparations to move to formal industrial action processes if that is what members want to do
3. Regional Health Committees in Scotland, Cymru/Wales and Northern Ireland to manage the consultation of members in response to the outcome of relevant pay processes
4. The Health Service Group Executive and Regional Health Committees to work through joint union structures to align timetables where appropriate
5. The Health Service Group Executive to ensure this work is aligned with outcomes from the 2021 Special Health Conference relating to the outsourced workforce in the NHS
