Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effect on patient care of the cap on staff pay in the NHS.
This question was answered on 10th July 2017
My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State has made clear, the support and welfare of National Health Service staff is a top priority as they do a fantastic job - the Government is committed to ensuring they can continue to deliver world-class patient care. Pay restraint has helped the NHS to recruit an additional 33,800 (6.4%) professionally qualified clinical staff since May 2010.
