3- Recent pay award for NHS doctors is just not acceptable
-Giving consultants pay rise equating to just ÂŁ20 per week in take-home pay for some is indeed unacceptable
-GPs and junior doctors not getting any pay rise is just scandalous!

4-Some colleagues still think that DDRB is an independent arbitrator & hence it is helpful to keep engaging
24% of NHS doctors in a recent survey I didstill believe DDRB is an independent body
Let me explain why this is not the case.......

5-Royal Commission on Doctors&Dentists Remuneration laid down principles for formation of DDRB in1960
Lets refresh our memory what were those principles:
-two professions, need some assurance that their living standards will not be depressed by arbitrary Government action

6- Principles contd--
- Doctors and dentists pay should not be used as a regulator of the national economy, it must not be held back for fear that others might follow
- Members should be independent persons not committed to the Governmentâs point of view

8-Do we think the current DDRB set up and process reflects the principles under which it was set up?

9- the reason being....
-Doctors salaries have not kept pace with the general economy or comparator professionals
-The Current DDRRB appointments have not been consulted with BMA

10. the reason being..
-Up front âremitâ letters were never part of original recommendations of Royal Commission.These should be submitted by Govt as evidence rather than instructions

11. the reason being..
-Review body members now are largely ex NHS HR managers,CEOs-having backgrounds which would be helpful as experts in submissions from Govt perspective rather than being independent assessors & they do not have the confidence of the Profession

Finally @TheBMA is a representative org& it should do what majority wants. Results of recent survey
I hope the above thread makes it clear why BMA should disengage with DDRB
