2.13 We have used data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) to track changes<br />
in median gross weekly <strong>pay</strong>16 for our remit group, compared with other employees,<br />
as shown in Table 2.5, though this does not take into account differences in workforce<br />
characteristics:<br />
•<br />
•<br />
Median <strong>pay</strong> for the remit group as a whole exceeds that in the wider economy and<br />
in the private sector, but is less than in the public sector. The increase in median <strong>pay</strong><br />
for <strong>NHS</strong>PRB staff between 2009 and 2010 exceeded that in the whole economy and<br />
the public sector;<br />
<strong>NHS</strong> nurses’ and midwives’ median <strong>pay</strong> was more than that for ‘associate<br />
professional and technical occupations’ 17 .<br />
16<br />
Gross weekly (as at April 2011), rather than annual (the year to March 2011) <strong>pay</strong> is used, as it represents a more<br />
up-to-date indicator.<br />
17<br />
Under the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes, nurses and midwives are contained within major group<br />
3: ‘associate professional and technical occupations’.<br />
