41+ Nhs Pay Rise 2021/2022 Background. Ministers need to stop the wrangling and come clean about the pay rise they believe nhs staff deserve. Nhs staff in england will get a pay rise of three per cent for their efforts during the pandemic but police officers and other public servants will be hit with pay freezes, the government revealed last night.
An nhs pay rise protest in london yesterday. For details of the current pay scales, please refer to annex 2 of the nhs terms and conditions of service handbook. According to government calculations for the average nurse, this will mean an additional £1,000 a year, while many porters and cleaners will receive around £540.
In other words, a significant above inflation pay rise is required to address local government workers‟ fall in living standards since 2010 and to avoid njc workers are the poor relations when compared with equivalent roles under the nhs agenda for change pay structure.
The pay rise for staff including nurses, paramedics, consultants, dentists and salaried general practitioners (gps) will be backdated to april 2021. However, unions have been campaigning since the summer for the government to move from the planned timeline and grant nurses an earlier pay rise during 2020. Nhs staff are rightly receiving a pay rise this year despite the wider public sector pay pause, in recognition of their extraordinary efforts. We asked the independent pay review bodies for their recommendations and i'm pleased to accept them.
