Pay rise dates for NHS Agenda for Change staff: FOI release

Information requested

The implementation dates for pay rises for NHS Agenda for Change staff for the past 10 financial years.

Alternatively, if you do not have this information, can you provide the publication dates for the annual AfC Pay Circular going back to its first publication?

Response

I enclose a copy of the information you requested in the form of links to Agenda for Change NHS Pay Circulars.

The implementation date for AfC pay settlements is 1 April. In the event that the uplift is not confirmed by that date, they are backdated as required.

The Agenda for Change (AfC) circulars below detail any pay rises for NHS AfC staff from 2005 through to 2023/24. The publication date, and any revisions, can be found in the top right corner on the first page of each circular.
