Agenda for Change and NHS Contractors Staff – A Joint Statement
The withdrawal of the code will also have an impact on the Agenda for Change and NHS Contractors Staff – A Joint Statement. Where the NHS Joint Statement is already in place, it has become part of terms and conditions for employees and consequently, can only be changed with agreement from employees.

For all new contracts the requirement to follow the joint statement has been removed. The expectation is that new contracts will take account of the Cabinet Office's Principles of Good Employment Practice
