The Government is committed to reforming progression pay in the National Health Service to ensure that the system is fair, consistent and sustainable.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Over 50% (around 620,000 headcount) of hospital and community health services staff are eligible for incremental pay increases; subject to meeting local performance standards.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
All of these eligible staff will receive at least a 1% increase.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Two thirds of those staff are eligible for at least 3%, which is the average incremental increase. This is around 410,000 staff (headcount).<\/p>

All National Health Service staff who meet local performance standards will receive 1% or more pay through non-consolidated increases or incremental pay this year.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Just over 50% of staff are eligible for incremental pay progression subject to satisfactory performance, which averages a 3% rise.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The just under 50% of NHS staff who are at the top of their pay bands and therefore not eligible for incremental progression received an additional non-consolidated payment this year equal to 1% of basic pay.<\/p>
