The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will require NHS Trusts to offer payroll savings schemes for staff.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Local employers across the National Health Service are best placed to understand their staff’s needs and circumstances. NHS staff have access to a range of support for financial wellbeing including credit union membership, savings schemes, and access to discount schemes such as the ‘Blue Light Card’.

NHS Employers has also published guidance for employers on salary sacrifice arrangements and tax-free childcare, which is available at the following link:
