This statement of financial entitlements (SFE) relates to the payments to be made by Primary Care Trusts to a contractor under a General Medical Services Contract. The directions given in this SFE apply to England only and come into force on 1 April 2004. The SFE underpins the financial arrangements for the new general medical services contract. This document has been agreed with the NHS Confederation and the General Practitioners Committee of the British Medical Association, and replaces the draft version published in December 2003.

The SFE is amended by the Primary Medical Services (Payment Arrangements) Amendment Directions 2004.  These changes are effective from 1 April 2004.  The Directions also amend the Personal Medical Services Agreements (Payments for Specific Purposes) Directions 2004.  The amending directions are accompanied by a short explanatory note.
