This year the terms of reference remain unchanged but the specific remits and public sector pay policies for the 2013-14 pay round vary across the United Kingdom. Chapter 1 gives details of these differencies but the final position reached after lengthy correspondence is that they are making recommendations on all salaried doctors and dentists, all independent contractor general medical practitioners and independent contractor general dental practitioners in Scotland. The Review Body process and in the interest of all parties concerned is best served when its terms of reference are without constraint. The Body therefore urges Governments to give unrestricted remits in future so the parties trust and confidence in the Independent Review Body process is maintained. In this report recommendations for the annual pay increases for 2013-14 are made.
