The following joint statement has just been released:
JOINT MEDIREST / UNISON COMMUNICATION STATEMENT
Further to a meeting between MEDIREST and UNISON on the
16th November 2010 and staff meetings conducted prior to this, we are writing to advise that we have agreed the following:
1. Ward hour’s reductions – are placed on hold, but will apply to all future recruitment in both domestic and hostess posts.
2. Proposal to freeze pay and Spine Point increment – This option is not being progressed.
HOWEVER, in order to work towards the required savings, the following will be implemented on a phased basis.
1. Non-replacement of one currently vacant supervisor’s post.
2. Target hours for each ward have been agreed and we will be looking to achieve these as vacancies occur. Existing employees will need to be flexible to assist this process.
3. The current freeze on vacancies has been lifted and therefore the requirement for overtime will be reduced.
4. Clocking-in system – strict controls will apply upon implementation.
5. Sickness absence management – will be consistently managed in line with the company absence management policy.
6. More effective management of chemicals and microfibre.
Medirest and Unison will be working closely to agree the detail and time-lines of the proposals and further information will be provided in due course.
Our progress towards achieving the cost-savings required will be reviewed in three months time.

Cambridge Weighting (Campaign for a NHS Cambridge High Cost Area Supplement)
Pay round talks start for 2011 pay deal
July 2010
The NHS staff council is currently looking at proposals for the 2011 cost of living pay award, however given the current financial climate it is not expected that the High Cost of Living Supplement for Cambridge will be reviewed this year.
The Branch plans to look at the recruitment figures over the next 12 months as this is where we had previously had problems with the bid, as the employers could not show they had difficulty in recruiting because of housing/ renting costs.
