Government tells Review Body not to report on GDPs pay |
|
The Secretary of State, Andrew Lansley has written to the chairman of the Review Body (DDRB) to say that it will not have to report this year or next on the pay of general dental practitioners (and GPs). This is in the light of the pay freeze imposed for two years on those earning more than £21,000. Instead the Government will negotiate directly with professional associations on how contract values should eb raised to reflect expenses.
There is no news of whether the DDRB will report on those in salaried services or what the position will be in Scotland Northern Ireland or Wales.
