Minutes:
This petition was considered alongside petition P-05-1089
Wales should lead on bringing NHS pay back in line with inflation costs over
the last 10 years.
The Committee considered the correspondence received, the further response from the Minister and his commitment that the Welsh Government will keep all options open for when the recommendations of the independent pay review are made. However, given the fact that this is not expected until May 2021 and the timescales are set by UK Government, there is little further action that the Committee could take at this time. Therefore, Members reiterated their support and agreed to close the petitions and thank the petitioners.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition for the first time and
noted its support for the petition, as well as the fact that the NHS Pay Review
Body appears likely to report its recommendations in early May. The Committee
agreed to welcome the fact that the Minister for Health and Social Services has
asked for the pay review to be bought forward and to write back to him to ask
for him to take any measures open to him in the meantime including, for
example, considering whether he can commit to backdating any pay award to the
beginning of the pandemic.
