Justin Madders MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Minister, responding to the publication of the 2018 to 2019 remit letters to the NHS Pay Review Body and Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration, said:
“It is staggering that Ministers are still refusing to give details of a pay rise for NHS staff, even six months on from a General Election at which their pay cap was roundly rejected.
“The Government say they want to see workforce reforms made to increase productivity, but they’ve said nothing about what changes they want made, what level of pay rise staff can expect to see, or whether a pay rise will be applied across the board.
“And while Ministers dither and delay, NHS workforce shortages are getting worse by the month and it is patients who are paying the price. The Government should immediately commit to giving all NHS staff the pay they deserve so they can do the best possible job for their patients.”
