Pay scales for most doctors and dentists to increase by at least a 6% this year after the government accepted the recommendations from the independent pay review bodies in full.

Around 130,000 full-time equivalent doctors and dentists, including junior doctors and consultants, will see their pay rise in line with the Review Body on Doctors鈥� and Dentists鈥� Remuneration鈥檚 (DDRB) recommendations. Pay for junior doctors will be increased by 8.8% on average. 皇冠体育app agreement means pay for a first year junior doctor will increase by 10.3%. Pay for the most experienced junior doctors will increase by 8.1%. For consultants, this means a rise of 6%.

Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said:

We hugely value the work of all NHS staff.

That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e giving junior doctors, consultants and senior NHS staff a fair and reasonable pay rise as recommended by the independent pay review bodies.

But it also balances the need to keep inflation in check while giving some staff significant pay increases.

We鈥檝e made it clear this pay award is not up for negotiation and urge those unions still in dispute with the government to end their strikes immediately.

As recommended by the DDRB, most dentists and doctors聽will receive at least a 6% pay rise. Junior doctor pay will be increased by 6% plus 拢1,250.

Average basic pay for a first year junior doctor will increase from 拢29,300 to 拢32,300 and for a junior doctor in core training with 3 years鈥� experience it will increase from 拢40,200 to 拢43,900. For consultants and SAS doctors on pre-2021 contracts, this is on top of the 4.5% pay rise they received last year. Some staff will also benefit from performance pay, overtime, pay progression and pay rises from promotion, alongside the pay uplift.

皇冠体育app government has been clear about the need for pay awards to recognise the hard work of the public sector while meeting the Prime Minister鈥檚 priority to halve inflation and managing public spending effectively.

More borrowing would add pressures on inflation at exactly the wrong time, risking higher interest rates and higher mortgage rates. 皇冠体育app government plans to increase the main rate of the immigration health surcharge - to ensure it covers the full healthcare costs of those who pay it, having been frozen for the last 3 years despite high inflation and wider pressures - to at least 拢1,035, and the discounted rate for students, their dependents, those on Youth Mobility Schemes and under-18s to 拢776.聽皇冠体育app government will fund this pay award through prioritisation within existing departmental budgets, with front line services being protected.

Last month one million NHS staff, including nurses and paramedics, received a 5% pay rise worth at least 拢1,065 to full-time staff as well as 2 one-off payments worth at least 拢1,655.

Today鈥檚 announcement comes weeks after the NHS published its first ever , backed by over 拢2.4 billion government funding, which will deliver the biggest training expansion in NHS history and recruit and retain hundreds of thousands more staff over the next 15 years.

Background information

皇冠体育app pay review bodies considered a range of evidence from various organisations.

All pay awards will be backdated to 1 April 2023. This pay award is only applicable to NHS staff in England. 皇冠体育app 2023 to 2024 pay uplift for NHS staff directly employed by NHS providers will be funded by NHS England through system allocations.

皇冠体育app government asked the DDRB and SSRB for recommendations for NHS staff not already in multi-year deals - this includes junior doctors, dentists in training, consultants, SAS doctors on old contracts, dentists and salaried GPs.

皇冠体育app full Pay Review Body reports can be found on GOV.UK. 皇冠体育app Review Body for Doctors鈥� and Dentists鈥� Remuneration (covering doctors and dentists not in multi-year deals) recommended a 6% increase for the majority of its remit group. Pay for junior doctors will increase by around 8.8% on average. This is because the DDRB recommended 6% plus 拢1,250 on a consolidated basis.

皇冠体育app Senior Salaries Review Body (covering very senior managers in the NHS and executive senior managers in DHSC鈥檚 arm鈥檚 length bodies) recommended a 5% increase, with a further 0.5% in each employing organisation used to address specific pay anomalies.

Following acceptance of the Agenda for Change (AfC) offer by the NHS Staff Council, the government confirmed it would no longer be seeking recommendations on the 2023 to 2024 pay award from the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB) for non-medical staff on the AfC contract.

皇冠体育app government has since received the report from the NHSPRB with their observations on the pay deal in England which we welcome and we have published at the same time as the DDRB and SSRB reports.

Those already in multi-year deals were not in scope of the pay review body鈥檚 recommendations this year. 皇冠体育app DDRB were not asked to make a pay recommendation for GP partners as they are subject to a 5-year investment agreement to 2023 to 2024, which was agreed with NHS England and the BMA in 2019. For salaried GPs, the 6% award will raise the minimum salary by around 拢3,900 and the maximum by around 拢5,900.

皇冠体育app GP contract will be uplifted to provide funding for salaried general practice staff. This funding will be backdated to April 2023 and it is our expectation this funding is passed on promptly to all salaried general practice staff. As self-employed contractors to the NHS, it is for GP practices to determine uplifts in pay for their employees.

皇冠体育app government is absolutely committed to ensuring the NHS has the funding it needs to deliver for patients.

皇冠体育app government is committed to living within its means and delivering value for the taxpayer, and therefore it鈥檚 prioritising within existing departmental funding to fund these uplifts.

皇冠体育app government is working in collaboration with the NHS Staff Council to implement the NHS pay deal.
