Question
When can NHS workers in Wales expect to receive further information regarding the NHS pay award this year?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
We are working through all the details of the recommendations of the NHS Pay Review Body, the Chancellor’s statement about public sector pay in July and the implications for our budget. We will make an announcement soon.
I appreciate the hard work and dedication of all NHS staff in Wales and believe all public sector workers should be fairly rewarded for the important work they do but settlements must be affordable.
