Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with the NHS Pay Review Body on the NHS Pay Review Body remit letter: 2023 to 2024 pay round, published on 16 November 2022.

Since sending the remit letter, the Secretary of State has not met with the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB). As is the practice of successive administrations, the details of external meetings are routinely published on Gov.UK.

The NHSPRB are independent advisory bodies made up of industry experts. The review bodies carefully consider evidence submitted to them from a range of stakeholders, including government, NHS system partners, and trade unions.
