§ Mr. AlisonFor general medical practitioners the fees and allowances for 1972–73 recommended by the Doctors and Dentists Review Body are intended to produce gross and net remuneration of £7,805 and £5,575 on average per practitioner; and direct payments of practice expenses not reimbursed through the fees and allowances are estimated to amount to about another £1,150 on average per practitioner. The target average gross and net remuneration of general dental practitioners from fees and allowances for 1972–73 is £11,038 and £5,050 respectively. The salary scales for registrars and house officers in the hospital service are £2,634–£3,282, and £1,749–£2,025 respectively; any extra duty allowances payable to practitioners in these grades are additional to the salary scale.
