The Pay Review Body process is the established mechanism for determining pay increases in the public sector, outside of negotiating multi-year pay and contract reform deals.

A table showing annual increases to basic pay for National Health Service consultants, salaried general practitioners (GPs) and GP partners, nurses and health visitors and NHS Chief Executives in each year from 2009/10 to 2022/23 compared with the average Retail Price Index inflation is attached, due to the size of the data.

Information on pay increases for porters is not held in the format requested.
