More details have been released about the latest pay offer from midwives this morning.
The agreement lifts the base pay for Te Whatu Ora midwives by up to $12,000 a year.
Graduate midwives will start work in a public hospital on almost $73,000 a year before overtime and allowances.
It will be backdated to April last year
Midwifery union, MERAS co-leader Caroline Conroy told Tim Dower this will hopefully keep midwives from heading overseas.
She says there's an aggressive recruitment process happening from Australia.
