Removal of Wales data

As part of last year’s GMS contract agreement, the Welsh Government have confirmed that seniority payment scales will be frozen, subject to no further uplifts, and will effectively expire over time as the scheme is not open to new entrants. Consequently, unlike previous years, seniority results for Wales are not found in this report.
