Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish any modelling his Department has (a) conducted or (b) received for the 2022 pay review round on the impact on staff retention at different pay offers.

The Government has not conducted or received any specific modelling for the 2022/2023 pay review round on the impact on staff retention. The Government has asked the independent Pay Review Bodies (PRBs) to make a recommendation on pay for all National Health Service staff not in multi-year deals.

As part of this process, the Department provided written evidence to the PRBs including information on the recruitment, retention and motivation of NHS staff. In formulating the recommendations, the PRBs also consider evidence from a range of stakeholders, including NHS system partners, and trade unions. The Government will consider the PRBs recommendations when received.
