This article only applies to England NHS workers.
On July 29, 2024, the Labour government announced its acceptance of a recommendation to increase NHS pay by 5.5% for all staff on the Agenda for Change pay scale. This page outlines the anticipated changes in NHS pay following these recommendations. Please note that this information should be used as a guide until the official documentation is released by the government, expected in August 2024.
