<p>Given the impact of COVID-19 on our health services, the Government will continue
to provide for pay rises for over one million National Health Service workers in 2021/22.
For the NHS, the Government will ask the independent pay review bodies (PRB) to make
recommendations, including ensuring that staff earning less than £24,000 receive a
minimum of £250 increase. The Government will take PRBs recommendations into account
when we receive them.</p><p>The vast majority of care workers are employed by private
sector providers who ultimately set their pay, independent of central Government.
While social care for some people is funded by local authorities, many people pay
for their own care. We are providing councils with access to an additional £1 billion
for social care.</p>
