Responding to the news that the government will be offering talks to other trade unions, Danny Mortimer, chief executive of NHS Employers said:

“This offer of substantive talks with the NHS Staff Council, which brings together trade unions and employers, and which has overseen the national contract for all non-medical staff in the NHS for the last 20 years, is very positive. 

“I am hopeful that trade union colleagues are able to respond to this meaningful offer of talks with the government and we look forward to working with all parties to find a constructive way forward from this dispute and its impact on NHS teams, services and patients”.
