Salaried GP (Health Board employees) payscale and pay progression (NHS Borders)

The request was successful.

Dr Murray-Cavanagh

Dear Borders NHS Board,

Thank you for confirming:

1) How many non-out-of-hours salaried GPs does NHS Borders employ?
(ie those employed to provide daytime services in General Practice
and similar eg prisons/challenging behaviour/homeless/other health
board type GP care)

2) What is the range of salaries/pay (whole time equivalent) for
these GPs?

3) In the current or most recent contract for your salaried GPs,
what is the (wte) payscale?

4) In the current or most recent contract for your salaried GPs, is
there a built in increment / pay progression? (To be specific, not
a cost of living uplift, rather an annual increment progression
similar to that in the hospital doctors/doctors in
training/consultant contracts under NHS Borders)

5) If the answer to Q4 is YES and there is increment/pay
progression in the contract, what is this scale? If NO, are there
plans to implement pay progression in the contract for salaried GPs
and what is the timeline for this?

I look forward to your response.
With thanks.

Yours faithfully,
Dr Murray-Cavanagh

Dear Borders NHS Board,

Many thanks for your helpful response to my FoI request 310-15

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Borders NHS Board's handling of my FOI request 'Salaried GP (Health Board employees) payscale and pay progression (NHS Borders)'.

I have one point I wish to have clarified from the information you helpfully provided. Can you confirm that the 7 increments are progressed through on an annual basis? so after 7 years, a salaried GP would be at the top of the payscale?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s...

With thanks.

Yours faithfully,
