Notes:
- Mean annual non-basic pay per person is the mean amount, over and above of basic pay, paid to an individual in a 12 month period, regardless of the contracted full time equivalent (FTE) and including additional programmed activities.
- Figures in the table are provisional NHS Staff Earnings estimates.
- As expected with provisional data, some figures may be revised prior to the next publication as issues are uncovered and resolved.
- Figures rounded to the nearest pound.
- These figures represent payments made using the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) system to NHS staff who are employed and directly paid by NHS organisations.
- Figures based on data from all English NHS organisations who are using ESR (two Foundation Trusts do not use ESR).
- These figures include all payments made through the ESR.
- NHS Digital seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data.
- Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality. Where changes impact on figures already published, this is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses.
