The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to replace the NHS pay review body process with collective bargaining.

Answered by Karin Smyth

There are no plans to replace the National Health Service’s Pay Review Body process with direct negotiation. We published written evidence to the Pay Review Bodies as per the usual process on 10 December 2024, and oral evidence sessions are due to take place in January and February 2025.
