Women in NHS paid 23% less than men

[Northerner]

Female NHS staff in England earn nearly a quarter less than their male colleagues, figures show.

The data covers more than one million workers in England from doctors and managers to nurses and cleaners.

It showed that the average full-time female worker is paid £28,702 a year in basic salary. That compares to the £37,470 average pay for men - a gap of more than 23%.

The total excludes bonuses and overtime that are paid on top of basic pay.

My pension is bigger than that average, which tells you something about doctors pay compared to, say, nurses. It means nothing unless you are comparing like with like. Doctors are paid the same, male or female. So are nurses.
