Publisher's Synopsis
This annual report contains recommendations for the level of remuneration for doctors and dentists in the NHS with effect from 1 April 2003. However, this 32nd report deals only with career grade hospital doctors and dentists, doctors and dentists in training and ophthalmic medical practitioners. The recommended increase for these groups is 3.225 per cent. Following the rejection of the consultants' contract, the report calls for reflection by both parties, and recommends an increase of 3.225 per cent on the national salary scale of consultants who opt not to move onto the new consultant contract.;The Review Body expects to report at a later date regarding general dental practitioners and salaried primary dental care services later, and are awaiting further developments on the proposed new contract for GPs.
