<p>NHS Digital publishes Hospital and Community Health Services (HCHS) workforce statistics
for England. These include staff working in hospital trusts and clinical commissioning
groups (CCGs), but not staff working in primary care or in general practitioner surgeries,
local authorities or other providers.</p><p>Nurses’ earnings are made up of basic
pay plus, where applicable, unsocial hours payments, on call payments and high cost
area supplements.</p><p>The latest figures at June 2018 show that almost 60% of nurses
receive unsocial hours payments in addition to their basic pay.</p><p>The following
table shows nurses and health visitors whose total annual earnings is under £30,000,
in National Health Service trusts, CCGs, support organisations and central bodies
in England, between 31 July 2017 and 30 June 2018, headcount and percentage:</p><p><em>
</em></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>All nurses and health visitors</p></td><td><p>Nurses
and health visitors whose total annual earnings are under £30,000</p></td><td><p>Proportion
of nurses and health visitors whose total annual earnings are under £30,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>258,676</p></td><td><p>107,715</p></td><td><p>41.6%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>These figures use the total annual earnings of staff which includes basic pay
and non-basic pay elements. These total figures include staff working on a part time
basis, who tend to have lower annual earnings than those on full time contracts.</p><p>Basic
pay data has been extracted at a point in time, whereas total earnings include data
from staff working throughout the period. This explains the discrepancies in the total
number of nurses and health visitors.</p>
