With effect from the 1st August 2005 the NHSLA has been charged with coordinating equal pay claims on behalf of the NHS in England.

 

The powers leading to these new responsibilities were implemented via Statutory Instrument 2005/1445 which came into effect on the 1st of July 2005. The Department of Health issued formal Directions to the NHSLA to come into effect from the 16th July 2005.
