NHS: Pay
(asked on 13th April 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the NHS Pay Review Body: 30th Report, Cm9440, what plans he has to allow greater flexibility in the NHS pay policy.
This question was answered on 25th April 2017
In our written evidence to the NHS Pay Review Body for the 2017/18 pay round we made clear that there was insufficient evidence that targeting an average of 1% would make a material difference to the recruitment, retention and motivation of Agenda for Change staff. On this basis it recommended a uniform 1% award which the Government accepted.
