Covid-19 Update

Debate between Sajid Javid and Marion Fellows

Monday 28th June 2021 Commons Chamber

[Marion Fellows (Motherwell and Wishaw) (SNP)]

Now that the Health and Social Care Secretary is in post, will he break with his predecessor’s outright refusal to deliver the pay rise to NHS staff in England that they deserve? Will he, at a minimum, commit to matching NHS pay rates in Scotland, delivering a pay rise for staff in England, and to providing more money in consequentials to help devolved Governments support NHS staff in devolved nations?

[Sajid Javid]

The whole House would agree that the Government must absolutely make sure that there is a fair pay settlement for all NHS workers, and that is certainly what there will be.
