Proportion of Nurses receiving a progression pay increase

Department of Health and Social Care did not have the information requested.

Dear Department of Health,

I understand nurses have had a pay increase cap of 1% imposed on them for some time, which means that all Nurses receive this increase annually.

I'm also led to believe, however, that some nurses receive a progression increase as they move up through the various pay bands. My Freedom of Information request, therefore, is:

What proportion of nurses in England received a progression pay increase in the financial years ending 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Yours faithfully,

David Wightman

Dear Mr Wightman,
 
Thank you for your correspondence of 17 January about NHS pay.  I have
been asked to reply.

The Department does not hold the information you have requested.  Local
NHS organisations are responsible for the recruitment and retention of
their staff, including incremental pay progression.  You may therefore
wish to contact NHS improvement, which has overall responsibility for NHS
trusts about this matter.  Its contact details are:
