To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what wage rate is paid to apprentice nurses by NHS employers.
Answered on
21 May 2018
Pay rates for apprentices are set by individual trusts at a local level. NHS Employers have issued interim guidance to National Health Service employers on pay for nurse apprentices suggesting employers pay an interim pay rate for new entrants of Band 3.
Negotiations continue as part of the reform of the Agenda for Change contract to agree guidance on NHS apprentice pay at a national level, which will be decided by the NHS Staff Council.
