well NHS Nursing is locked into a 3 year pay deal with the Government. Last year it was well below inflation this year (Year 2) it should now be above inflation or so many of my peers beleive. Personally I think that Gordon will renage on the deal as its "not in the countries economic interest" yet it would have been if their fairytale economics had continued and inflation was 5% and our pay rise was 1.75 like last year.
