Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with the NHS Pay Review Body on the level of resources needed to settle the industrial dispute with the health sector unions.
The independent Pay Review Body process is the established mechanism for determining pay increase in the public sector, including staff working in the National Health Service. We have accepted the Pay Review Body recommendations in full for 2022/23 and we will seek its recommendations for staff in scope for 2023/24.
