.RCN_NI said it would be seeking clarity over pay, and that further industrial action 'will be a last resort'.
Unison, Nipsa, The Royal College of Nursing and The Royal College of Midwives are due to attend Wednesday's meeting.Ms Devlin said unions would be seeking clarity at the meeting over pay, and that further industrial action - which has been paused - "will be a last resort".
"If it is money that belongs within the Department of Health in England, and is going to be recycled somewhere, then it won't attract Barnett consequentials, and we are being told as there is no budget in Northern Ireland that we can't be offered any pay, and in fact, as of 4 April, there is no health budget in Northern Ireland at all."
In addition, staff have been offered a one-off payment of at least £1,655 to top up the past year's pay award.Strike action has also been paused in Wales and Scotland by most unions while new offers are considered. The GMB in Scotland has accepted the Scottish offer, worth 14% over two years. She added that nurses in Northern Ireland would not allow themselves to "go out of pay parity again"."We already had to take strike action in 2019, because we were the worst paid nurses in the UK, we are certainly not going to let that happen again and our members will not allow us not to take industrial action if that's the case," Ms Devlin said.
