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>

Starting pay for a newly qualified nurse is normally the minimum of the scale applicable to basic grade qualified nurses as follows:<\/p> 1996-97 to 2003-04: Whitley D Grade<\/p> 2004-05 o 2013-14: Agenda for Change Band 5<\/p> <\/p> 2. Starting pay is taken from national pay scales.<\/p> <\/p> 3. Figures given include any staged increases in the year in question.<\/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> 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> 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> 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> 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>"}
