Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of employees in their Department are paid at the rate of the National Minimum Wage.
The Department has no employees paid at the rate of the National Minimum Wage. The minimum salary for our national pay range is £21,250. This equates to £11.05 per hour which is above the 2023 national living wage of £10.42 per hour.
