There are exceptions, including for circumstances concerning patient safety and suitable rates for extra-contractual working hours are agreed locally.</p><p> </p><p>For doctors employed on nationally agreed terms and conditions, the highest hourly pay rate is that of a medical consultant. The hourly basic pay rate based on 40 hours per week for a consultant at the maximum of the pay scale is £57.12 per hour. This does not include enhancements for working unsocial hours.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of National Health Service nurses are paid on the Agenda for Change contract at bands 5 to 7, although the highest is band 9. Nurses at the maximum of band 9 earn £55.99 per hour. This refers to basic pay and does not include allowances or premiums for unsocial hours or the High Cost Area Supplement. In 2015, measures to reduce agency spend were introduced, including price caps, procurement frameworks and expenditure ceilings. These have contributed to the reduction of spending on agency staff from £3.6 billion in 2015/16 to £2.4 billion in 2020/21.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 28/11/2022 16:20:11 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
