Minutes:
The Deputy Director of Public Health and Communities introduced the report
The Cabinet Member considered a report which indicated that the Government had announced that employees who were on Agenda for Change NHS terms and conditions would receive an above inflation pay rise for both 2024/2025 and 2025/2026.
In light of the increased costs, the Council had received uplifts to the public health grant to ensure that public health funded contracts that included staff on Agenda for Change NHS terms and conditions remained sustainable.
RESOLVED to:
Agree to a variation to contract for 0-19 Public Health Nursing Services to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust to cover above expected staff pay costs for the NHS employed staff on Agenda for Change contracts.
