Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the rate of pay for registered nurses who have come out of retirement to support the covid-19 vaccination programme.

Remuneration for nurses that have returned to the National Health Service via the Bring Back Staff Programme has been agreed locally between the employing organisation and the employee. The salary will be dependent on the role in which they have been employed.
