Enough Is Enough – Stop the Cuts to Health and Social Care.

Health and Social Care organisations have been told to find more than 12% savings over the next three years.

After years of efficiencies, NIPSA believes reductions on this scale mean cuts to services and increased pressure on staff.

These are cuts, not efficiencies.

NIPSA is campaigning for fair pay, proper funding and the protection of Health and Social Care services.

🚨 NI Budget & Pay Update 🚨

This week, NIPSA General Secretary Carmel Gates and Deputy General Secretary Maria Morgan met with Eóin Tennyson MLA to press the urgent need for an agreed budget and fair pay for members.

NIPSA members will be acutely aware that pay awards due from 1 April have still not been implemented, due to the ongoing delay in agreeing a budget at the NI Executive.

Discussions are continuing between the Department of Finance, Executive parties and the Treasury to improve the current funding allocation. However, it remains clear that the existing funding model does not meet Northern Ireland’s needs, placing huge pressure on public services and leaving workers underpaid.

NIPSA continues to call for:
✅ A needs-based budget
✅ Properly funded public services
✅ Fair and timely pay awards

We have secured a commitment that public sector pay will be prioritised once a budget is agreed, but it is vital pressure continues. Therefore, we encourage all members to contact their MLAs and MPs to support a fair financial settlement.

More updates will follow. Read the full details here 👇
