Text

I thank the First Minister for her response. As we know, our public-sector workers, including our nurses, face huge uncertainty over their pay awards while the British Government continue to insist that no further funding is available. Will the First Minister outline her position on public-sector pay, explain why the current settlement is simply not enough to meet our needs and set out what more the British Government must do urgently to resolve the situation?
