The RCM, along with many other unions, has voiced serious concerns about the government's failure to confirm that it will allow the Pay Review Body (PRB), without interference, to fully fund the recommendations.
All NHS unions have agreed that another year of pay restraint for midwives and all healthcare professionals is unfair and will cause lasting damage to the NHS workforce and the patients they care for.
Jon Skewes, RCM director for policy, employment relations and communications, said: "The RCM is once again joining with our NHS trade union colleagues to call on the government to end seven years of pay restraint for not only midwives, but all NHS workers.
"As a result of below-inflation increases for the past seven years, midwives have seen their pay drop in value by over £6000 since 2010; it is unsustainable for this to continue. The RCM has previously warned that this is a disastrous and unsustainable decision for maternity services and the NHS.
"When almost every professional group in the NHS has a shortage of staff, as midwifery does, the government needs to intervene now to retain much-needed staff before it is too late."
