Abstract
This chapter details the way in which the pay of frontline care workers in the UK is set, the data required for pay setting, and the shortcomings of the data currently available. It documents what has happened to the weekly pay and the lifetime pay of the largest frontline health occupations in the UK relative to that of other workers. It details the substantial deterioration of the weekly pay of hospital doctors relative to those of other workers over the period since 2005. It further reveals that, over a longer period, the relative weekly pay of nurses and care workers has marked time, when it might have been expected to improve. The chapter also reports the results of the limited research into ethnic pay gaps.
