Public sector pay cap survey September 2017
A survey of the general public for 14 public sector unions about public sector pay.
  • Public backing is strong for the removal of the public sector pay cap for NHS staff, with over four in five (84%) saying they support this move.
  • Three quarters (73%) of British adults think that if the Government make an announcement that they will lift the pay cap in the NHS, they should also increase the funding available for the NHS pay review body to recommend an award higher than 1%, whereas only 10% think they shouldn’t. However, approaching a fifth (17%) are uncertain and say they don’t know.
  • As well as supporting lifting the pay cap, over four in five (83%) British adults support increasing pay for all NHS staff to meet or exceed cost of living.
  • The consensus among around three quarters of British adults is that existing staff leaving the NHS, moving to private work, and young people not choosing NHS careers are each a significant consequence of the low pay in the NHS (77%, 75% and 74% say this respectively).
  • The majority (69%) of British adults support NHS staff being paid £800 to account for the last seven years of pay restraint on top of a pay increase – however it is worth noting that approaching a fifth oppose this (17%).

FEATURED POLL

Sunday Express Voting Intention and BBC Poll

  • “We were so pleased with the results of the polling we commissioned through Savanta ComRes. Katie and her team were a steady hand of expertise throughout the whole process and worked quickly and professionally to meet our deadlines. The polling provided us with a hook that was instrumental in enabling our campaign to take light more quickly and gain a wider reach.”

  • “I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charu, Rachel, and the rest of the Savanta ComRes team to any colleague who is interested in commissioning some polling. At every stage of our research with NHS leaders (from designing the questions, finding the right sample, going to field, analysing the results, and checking that we represented the findings accurately in our report), the team at Savanta ComRes were just brilliant – professional, responsive, expert, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve what we were after. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.”
    Faculty of Public Health
  • “Savanta ComRes led a very substantial and complex data project for us with really expert advice and guidance to make sure we got the best possible quality data. With the help and support of Savanta ComRes consultants and in house data experts we managed to put together a potentially very difficult project on time and to the highest quality. They understand their clients and what matters to them."

  • Savanta ComRes were an absolute joy to work with. We needed a punchy poll-based story for the launch of the latest phase of our Choose Psychiatry recruitment campaign and Savanta ComRes delivered that in buckets, with the story getting national television, radio and print coverage as well as online.

THREAD: @SavantaComRes polled the UK public to see who they most trusted, between PM Boris Johnson and LOTO Sir Keir Starmer, to do a range of normal actions.

Crucially, who can be trusted to buy a round for their friends at the pub?
