The Royal College of Nursing welcomes publication of the NHS Pay Review Body report which says the third year of a multi-year pay deal for nurses will be honoured.

RCN Chief Executive Dr Peter Carter says: "We welcome the news that the pay increase agreed as part of the multi-year deal for 2010/11 will be honoured. Good quality patient care depends on having motivated staff who feel valued - fair pay is an important factor in this. The RCN is committed to protecting frontline clinical services and we look forward to continuing to work with the Review Body in the future."
