WIDESPREAD NHS strikes could soon spread to Scotland after GMB members rejected SNP ministers’ latest pay offer yesterday.

Two-thirds of respondents to the health union’s ballot voted against the deal, which amounted to a below-inflation average of 7.5 per cent for most workers. 

The proposal — worth 11.3 per cent for the lowest earners — was accepted by Unite and Unison earlier this week after Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf claimed it was his “best and final offer.”
