Pay uplifts for most NHS staff are determined by the Government in the light of recommendations from the independent pay review bodies. Their remits are set by the Government.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer wrote to the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB) and Review Body on Senior Salaries (SSRB)  asking them to consider how to make pay more market-facing for Agenda for Change staff and NHS Very Senior Managers following his 29 November 2011 Autumn Statement.
