Has the new agreement removed the opportunity for partner trusts to set rates of pay?
As the employer of our flexible workers NHS Professionals has always been legally responsible for the pay and conditions of our workers and, as an NHS organisation we are responsible for the implementation of Agenda for Change. However, a key objective was to preserve the facility to determine rates locally. The new system will allow a more objective analysis of labour market conditions. The emphasis will be on partnership working within the health economy, with the assistance of NHS Professionals. NHS organisations will not need to pay rates above the national minimum rates that cannot be justified.
