Pay for public sector Health and Social Care staff in Northern Ireland

Pay for 2024/5

Northern Ireland is following a Pay Review Body (PRB) process process for 2024/25. The PRB is independent from government and reviews information and evidence from health unions, the government itself, and NHS employers. It will then make recommendations to ministers. It is the government which decides whether to accept these recommendations.

The PRB's recommendations for Northern Ireland were published by central government on 29 July 2024.

The recommendation is for 5.5% for all staff from April 2024.

The government in Northern Ireland will now consider the report and we will wait to see the outcome of those discussions.
