Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of NHS staff will receive a one per cent or higher pay award through non-consolidated increases or incremental pay awards this year.

All National Health Service staff who meet local performance standards will receive 1% or more pay through non-consolidated increases or incremental pay this year.

Just over 50% of staff are eligible for incremental pay progression subject to satisfactory performance, which averages a 3% rise.

The just under 50% of NHS staff who are at the top of their pay bands and therefore not eligible for incremental progression received an additional non-consolidated payment this year equal to 1% of basic pay.
