Cabinet Secretary, as has been highlighted before, the cross-party group on cancer last week highlighted some concerns over recruitment of staff. It also highlighted that staff banding in speciality areas is actually lower in Wales than in England. Some are band 6 in Wales, where the equivalent post is a band 7 in England. Staff therefore are either migrating to an equivalent job with better pay in England or actually not even coming into Wales. What's the Welsh Government going to do to ensure an equality of staff banding for equivalent work across the UK?
