All organisations within the United Kingdom with more than 250 employees have been required since April 2017 to publish details of their gender pay gap. The specific requirements of the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 are to publish information for the six specific measures detailed in this report.
As of 31 March 2023, we can report that:
- The difference between the mean hourly rate of pay for men and that of women was 2.7%.
- The difference between the median hourly rate of pay for men and that of women was 0.5%.
The reason for the difference between the mean and median gender pay gap is that we employ a small number of clinicians whose pay we do not set. This includes NHS consultants who are contracted as Clinical Advisers. Excluding this group positively impacts our mean gender pay gap, which would be -1.7%.
As at the 31 March 2023, PHSO employed around 600 people of which 60% were female.
