Ms Rosie Winterton

We have completed the review of our pay systems in line with the Government's commitment in response to the Equal Opportunities (EOC) Task Force "Just Pay" report. There was found to be no significant disadvantages revealed by the equal pay review, although there is some further consideration being given in three areas.

A copy of our report, which includes the action plan, has been placed in the Library.
