UNISON Evidence to NHS Pay Review Body


Following the survey of UNISON Health members conducted during July / August, 1,756 responses were received. These responses have now been analysed and written up into the attached report that provides a comprehensive picture of the views and experiences of the staff who deliver our health service.

This report has now been submitted to the NHS Pay Review Body as part of the annual evidence gathering process whereby the Review Body assesses whether there is a case for seeking a remit from the Secretary of State for Health to reopen the multi-year pay deal, and will compliment the document that the NHS Trade Unions will submit as joint staff side evidence. The staff side document will give evidence on the wider economic context, labour market conditions, recruitment and retention and staff morale.

Both the staff side evidence (attached) and the UNISON survey analysis will support UNISON’s position that the multi-year deal for NHS staff should not be disturbed and that the pay rates scheduled to come into effect on 1 April for 2010 in the final year of the multi-year deal should remain as agreed.

The evidence submitted by NHS employers can be found at:2010/2011 Agenda for Change staff and the evidence submitted by the Health Departments at:NHS Pay Review Body: Review for 2010
