Why 3.3% is not enough
NHS staff in Wales have been given a 3.3% pay award for 2026/27.
Inflation is higher and bills are rising faster than wages. For many NHS workers, this is another real-terms pay cut.
Healthcare assistants, nurses, porters, cleaners, ambulance staff and admin workers keep the NHS running every single day. But pay has fallen behind for years. Workloads have increased, vacancies remain high and morale is stretched.
This cannot continue and this campaign is about changing that.
What needs to change
We need:
A pay rise that reflects the real cost of living
Direct negotiations on NHS pay
Proper funding to reform the Agenda for Change pay structure.
When NHS workers act together we can build pressure which forces the government to respond.
