KENNETH GIBSON MSP'S SPEECH IN THE SECOND BUDGET DEBATE

On Wednesday afternoon Kenneth Gibson MSP spoke in the second debate on the SNP Scottish Government's Budget for 2018/19.

One of the many positives he highlighted is that with this budget, after years of pay restraint, thousands of nurses and healthcare staff will benefit from a minimum pay increase of 3 per cent for staff who earn up to £36,500. This has also been welcomed by the Royal College of Nursing and by Unison.
