HCPC slap ambulance workers with rate hike while chief executive enjoys pay rise to £194,000.

GMB, the largest union for the ambulance service, is appalled by a decision to hit hard up paramedics with a whopping 18% hike for their professional registration.

The Health Care Professionals Council – the body which all paramedics have to be registered with before they can operate – has increased their fees from £90 to £106.

Paramedics, along with all NHS staff, have been hit by years of real terms pay cuts.

Meanwhile the chief executive of HCPC was paid a salary of £194,000 in 2016/17 – a 2% increases on the year before.

Rachel Harrison, GMB National Officer, said: “To hit our hard-up, life-saving paramedics with this unwarranted pay increase is pretty appalling – it amounts to a fine for saving lives’

“Ambulance workers’ average real terms earnings have plummeted by more than 19% since 2010 – while the chief executive of the HCPC enjoyed a pay rise to more than £194,000 a year.

“Unfortunately we are now locked into a three pay deal. If we were to be in annual pay talks this increase would be able to be factored into those talks.

“At a time when we are facing a staffing crisis within the NHS and Ambulance Service – GMB calls on HCPC to think again about this increase.”

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
