Nhs Lobby On National Pay Determination

EDM number 1007 in 1994-95, proposed by Alan Simpson on 20/04/1995.

That this House congratulates those NHS trade unions and professional organisations who organised the lobby of Parliament, on 20th April, in support of the retention of national pay determination in the NHS; recognises that local pay bargaining is divisive, creates a two-tier health service, is expensive and inefficient and diverts staff clinical time away from the care of patients; and calls on the Government to abandon its current policies which serve only to damage the NHS and undermine standards of patient care.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
