The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the Government's pay offer to non-Pay Review Body staff on (a) recruitment and (b) retention in those organisations.

Answered by Karin Smyth

No assessment has been made, on either recruitment or retention, of the impact of pay uplifts confirmed by the Government on non-Pay Review Body (PRB) staff.

Independent organisations, organisations that fall outside of the PRB’s remit, such as social enterprises, are free to develop and adapt their own terms and conditions of employment, in order to recruit and retain the staff they need.
