Commenting on the announcement, Emma Currer the RCM’s lead negotiator in Scotland on pay, said: “This is a restatement of something the Scottish Government promised some time ago.

“Our midwife and maternity support worker members will certainly be appreciative of the extra money in their pockets. However, this is payment on account and the RCM and other unions will continue in negotiations with the Government to get the best deal for NHS staff.”
