They're not accepting it - the government is giving it anyway. Several unions accepted, some didn't, but because of how NHS pay works (banding) they can't give it to some staff and not others so it will be delivered to all staff. The unions that didn't accept
can still take further strike action (if they vote for it) because they're getting a deal they didn't sign up for. This includes the RCN which is the largest nursing-specific union.
It's complicated because there were so many unions involved in the initial strike action.
