HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 cc126-7W
Dr. Trafford

asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the work of the new Review Body on doctors' and dentists' remuneration.

The Prime Minister

The Review Body's first report, which deals with remuneration in the current financial year, is being published today as a Command Paper. Copies are available in the Vote Office. The Government are most grateful to Lord Halsbury and his colleagues for their work in preparing the Report and are ready to accept all the recommendations, which we estimate would give an overall increase of about 7½, per cent. in the intended net remuneration of senior hospital doctors and dentists, general medical practitioners and general dental practitioners.
