Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to require his Department and its agencies to provide a payroll deduction service to allow staff to save more easily with a credit union; and if he will make a statement.

There are currently no plans to implement a payroll deduction service or require the Department’s agencies to implement such a service. We are continuing to plan further work to explore if payroll deductions will be implemented in the future.
