GDS and PDS Statements of Financial Entitlements

Amended GDS and PDS Statements of Financial Entitlements came into force on 1 April 2008 which give effect to the financial increases for 2008-09.

In accordance with the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body recommendations announced on 7 April, gross contract values are increased by 3.4% and the pay elements by 2.2%. The Seniority Scheme which was intended to be for two years only has been extended to continue payment to those performers currently eligible and include new entrants to the scheme up to 31 March 2009. In practice the 2008/9 adjustment will be factored into the monthly payments by the NHS BSA on a national basis. The PCT must not itself, therefore, adjust the amounts that it has loaded into the NHS BSA’s payments on line systems by these adjustments.
