A wage dispute between public hospital support staff and the Hospital Authority is over after unions accepted an improved pay offer.
The Hong Kong Medical and Health Care Staff General Union said on Monday night accepted the authority's offer of an 8 percent across-the-board pay rise.
The authority says it will seek additional funding from the government and hopes the increase can take effect next month.
Workers had initially demanded a 12 percent pay rise, and threatened to stage a sit-in protest in support of their claims.
It followed months of heavy pressure on support staff as a severe winter flu season left wards packed beyond capacity.
