	uin	247104
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of the level of the ethnicity pay gap in medicine. However, in October 2018, the Prime Minister announced a package of measures to make the workplace fairer for people from ethnic minorities, including a consultation on mandatory ethnicity pay reporting by employers with 250 or more employees. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who are running the consultation, have received over 300 detailed responses to the consultation, which closed on 11 January 2019. They will be setting out next steps in due course.</p><p>The consultation requested views on the best approach to collect and publish ethnicity pay gap data including methodological proposals that mirror the current mandatory gender pay gap reporting requirements.</p><p>In addition to the mandatory gender pay gap reporting, the Department of Health and Social Care commissioned a review into the gender pay gap in medicine which commenced in April 2018 and is chaired by Professor Dame Jane Dacre. The review aims to examine qualitative and quantitative evidence to go on to produce a series of implementable recommendations which are expected to be published in September 2019. Once the report has been received, the Department will consider whether there would be value in a similar review of the ethnicity pay gap.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 247105 question first answered 01/05/2019 14:11:21 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
