The Government looked to the independent Pay Review Bodies for a pay recommendation for National Health Service staff. The Government has accepted the NHS Pay Review Body and Review Body for Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration’s recommendations in full.

Once implemented, all NHS staff within the two Review Bodies’ remit groups for this year will receive a 3% pay uplift, backdated to April 2021. Additional payments are not being considered.
