Require NHS employers to apply pay bands consistently across the country

Closed 149 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that all NHS banding should be the same, nationally. There have been recent cases of some NHS health care assistants having their bands uplifted, and backpay issued, but not every hospital is following suit.
I call upon the UK government to review the NHS Agenda for Change and ensure banding of job roles must follow a national framework. I have heard that workers in the same roles are being paid on different bands in the same region. I call upon the Government to ensure equal application pay bands for all NHS staff. We believe this is vital to protect our current workforce and keep consistency nationally in order to help with future recruitment into the NHS.
