Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick and Philip Dunne

Tuesday 7th February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Ms Margaret Ritchie (South Down) (SDLP)]

What further efforts have been made to increase the level of nurses’ pay, many of whom have high levels of training, expertise and qualifications?

[Mr Dunne]

We recognise that nurses and other health workers deserve a cost-of-living increase. As the hon. Lady will be aware, the NHS pay review body is due to make its recommendations in a few weeks. We will be looking at them closely.
