由于6.14亿英镑的资金短缺,北爱尔兰保健工作者在10月的薪酬将延迟增加3.6%。 Northern Ireland's healthcare workers will get a delayed 3.6% pay rise in October due to a £614 million funding shortfall.

北爱尔兰财政部长约翰·奥多德(John O'Dowd)证实,尽管卫生资金短缺6.14亿英镑,2亿英镑与护士工资挂钩,但医疗工作者将延迟获得3.6%的加薪。 Northern Ireland's Finance Minister John O’Dowd confirmed healthcare workers will receive a delayed 3.6% pay rise, despite a £614 million health funding shortfall, with £200 million tied to nurses' pay. 这一增加原定于4月进行,现在推迟到10月,原因是护士担心,如果得不到解决,11月可能罢工。 Originally due in April, the increase is now postponed to October amid concerns nurses may strike by November if unresolved. Odowd指责英国政府资金不足, 表示他的部门正与卫生官员合作确保提高薪资, O’Dowd blamed insufficient UK government funding and said his department is working with health officials to secure the pay uplift, though opposition figures criticized delays and shifting responsibility.
