answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>In June 2018 we agreed the Agenda for Change three year pay and contract reform deal which will see nearly one million National Health Service workers benefit over three years.</p><p>The deal gave all staff, including nurses in all pay bands, a pay rise of at least 3% for 2018/19. Over the course of the three years, nurses at the top of their pay band will receive a total pay increase of 6.5% and those below the top of their pay band, due to reforms to the pay structure (higher starting pay and fewer pay points), will see pay rises of between 9% and 29%.</p><p>The basic pay for a newly qualified nurse will rise from £22,128 to £24,907 over the three years.</p><p>In addition to basic pay, nurses are paid for working unsocial hours and an additional allowance if they work in and around London. The average earnings of a qualified nurse as at December 2018 was £32,280.</p><p>The deal was negotiated and agreed with the NHS trade unions and supported by the independent NHS Pay Review Body.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 13/05/2019 16:03:53 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 20/12/2018 14:08:23 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
