Junior Doctors are in a pre-existing multi-year pay and contract reform deal, which ends in March 2023. The upcoming pay round is the appropriate time to discuss pay after the multi-year deal ends.<\/p>
<\/p>
Outside of multi-year agreements, the independent pay review body (PRB) process is the established mechanism for developing pay recommendations. PRBs are made up of industry experts who carefully consider evidence submitted to them from a range of stakeholders, including government and trade unions. They base their recommendations on several factors including the economic context, cost of living, recruitment and retention, morale, and motivation of NHS staff.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4423", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Will Quince"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Will Quince"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-12-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-12-08T16:35:05.79Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Junior Doctors: Pay"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of restoring the pay of junior doctors to a level equivalent in real terms to the pay they received in 2008.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4671", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Afzal Khan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Manchester, Gorton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Afzal Khan"} ], "uin" : "102980"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1548352", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1548352/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government has published annual statistics on judicial diversity covering both judges and magistrates since 2020: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/diversity-of-the-judiciary-2022-statistics<\/a>. Prior to 2020, judicial diversity statistics were published by the Judiciary: www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/diversity/judicial-diversity-statistics/<\/a>.<\/p> Since 2017, the proportion of judges from an ethnic minority has grown from 8% to 10%. 14% of new judges appointed in 2021/22 were from ethnic minority groups. The proportion of magistrates from an ethnic minority has also grown over the same period: from 11% to 14%. 15% of new magistrates appointed in 2021/22 were from ethnic minority groups.<\/p> The government recognises there is more to do and the Ministry of Justice, as a member of the Judicial Diversity Forum (JDF), works closely with the judiciary, the Judicial Appointments Commission and the legal professions to take actions to increase judicial diversity. MoJ\u2019s actions include funding judicial education and support programmes for lawyers from groups under-represented in the judiciary.<\/p> The Government has invested over £1 million to support the recruitment of new and diverse magistrates, the Government\u2019s top priority for the magistracy. A new digitised recruitment process alongside an inclusive marketing campaign was launched in January 2022 as part of this programme of work, targeting underrepresented groups to ensure the magistracy is reflective of the communities it serves. A new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) was also introduced, allowing the MoJ to monitor the diversity of applicants which will help inform future recruitment activity.<\/p> <\/p>"}

Please note that the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) commissions and monitors legal aid services by \u2018Procurement Area\u2019 or \u2018Access Point\u2019 rather than by local authority. Procurement areas differ for different categories of law.<\/p> The LAA frequently reviews market capacity to make sure there is adequate provision of legal aid, in all categories of law, throughout England and Wales. The LAA moves quickly, where issues arise, to secure additional provision and to ensure demand for legal aid services is met across the country. The LAA contracts with a range of legal aid providers of varying size and capacity to take on new cases. Additionally, legal advice on a range of civil matters including housing, debt, discrimination and education is available, wherever people are, through the Civil Legal Advice telephone service.<\/p> Demand for legal aid services may vary across different categories of law. In particular, there may be low demand for services in categories such as clinical negligence or welfare benefits where the scope of services funded through legal aid was reduced under the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.<\/p> In early 2023 the LAA will be opening up a tender for new entrants who want to bid for a 2018 civil legal aid contract in all categories.<\/p> <\/p>"}
