NHS Pay Rise 2024: When to Expect the Increase
As a nurse at the East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, England, I understand the importance of staying informed about the latest developments in NHS pay.
Healthcare professionals have been discussing the NHS pay rise for 2024, with many wondering when the increase will take effect.
In this article, I will provide an overview of the NHS pay rise, including how it is decided, when it will be announced, and how much staff can expect to receive.
How will the NHS pay rise for 2024 be decided?
The NHS pay rise is governed by the Agenda for Change (AfC) contract, which separates pay into different bands. The government reviews the pay rates annually, with recommendations from the NHS Pay Review Body (PRB). The PRB considers evidence from trade unions, industry bodies, and the Treasury to determine a fair and affordable pay rise.
When will the NHS pay rise for 2024 be announced?
Due to the general election in July 2024, the NHS pay rise will likely be announced after September 2024. The PRB’s deadline for submitting recommendations has been extended to May 2024, and the report will be made public alongside the government’s agreed changes in NHS pay. Historically, there has been a delay between the PRB’s report and the implementation of the pay rise.
Will the NHS pay rise take place in June or July 2024?
Given the election, the pay rise is likely to be announced after September 2024. Even if the PRB’s report is submitted in May, the government will need time to consider the recommendations and decide. NHS staff may receive updated pay in October 2024.
Will the NHS pay rise take place before the general election?
The NHS pay rise is likely to be announced after the general election. During the pre-election period, government decisions are delayed to avoid influencing the political landscape. The pay rise will be announced after the election, and Parliament resumes in September.
Why did my NHS pay increase in April 2024?
The increase in take-home pay from April 2024 is due to the government’s reduction of National Insurance contributions, not a new NHS pay deal. This change means staff will take home more pay after tax, increasing by £25-£100 for most staff.
How much will the NHS pay rise be for 2024?
The exact amount of the pay raise will be known once the PRB’s recommendations are published. Many unions are campaigning for an above-inflation pay rise of over 5%. However, considering the current economic climate, a raise of 3-3.5% is more likely, which would mean:
- Pay for someone at the bottom of Agenda for Change Band 5, rising from £28,407 to £29,615
- Pay for someone in the middle spine point of Agenda for Change Band 6, rising from £37,350 to £39,030
- Pay for someone at the top spine point of Agenda for Change Band 8a, rising from £57,349 to £59,930
When will the NHS pay rise for 2024 happen?
The pay rise is expected to be announced in September 2024, with implementation likely in October 2024.
When will the NHS pay rise for 2024 happen in England?
The pay rise will be implemented in England in October 2024, following the announcement in September.
