Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to provide additional ring-fenced funding from the public purse for pay rises over one per cent for nurses.
This question was answered on 12th October 2017
As announced in September, for 2018/19, we will no longer have an across-the-board policy of 1% average basic pay awards. Before we make final decisions on pay awards, we will seek the views of the independent Pay Review Bodies including the NHSPRB which sets the pay award for nurses and other Agenda for Change staff. The Pay Review Bodies will consider evidence on how we ensure we attract and retain the very best people within our public services.
