<p>Since the introduction of Agenda for Change in October 2004, nurses who are newly
qualified start at Agenda for Change Band 5. Prior to Agenda for Change they started
at Whitley Grade D. National salary scales apply for NHS nurses in York. The starting
salary for a full-time equivalent NHS nurse in cash and real terms is shown in the
following table.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Cash

a newly qualified nurse is normally the minimum of the scale applicable to basic grade
qualified nurses as follows:</p><p>1996-97 to 2003-04: Whitley D Grade</p><p>2004-05
o 2013-14: Agenda for Change Band 5</p><p> </p><p>2. Starting pay is taken from national
pay scales.</p><p> </p><p>3. Figures given include any staged increases in the year
in question.</p><p> </p><p>4. The starting pay given for 2004-05 is the minimum of
the Agenda for Change Band 5 scale at the effective date of implementation of Agenda
for Change on 1 October 2004.</p><p> </p><p>5. The 2014-15 starting salary change
is due to an adjustment to ensure all staff on Spine Point 15 eligible for incremental
progression received at least 1% when progressing to Spine Point 16, which is also
the current starting Spine Point for a newly qualified nurse.</p><p> </p><p>6. The
cash terms data has been converted into real terms using the latest official Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) deflator series taken from the HM Treasury website on 30 June
2014 and last updated on 20 December 2013.</p><p> </p><p>7. It is not possible to
convert the 2014-15 cash starting salary to real terms because of the way the GDP
deflator series operates.</p><p> </p><p>8. To be as up to date as possible, the real
terms data is presented in 2013-14 prices. This involves using the HM Treasury forecast
GDP deflator value for 2013-14.</p><p> </p>
