2 - Work for local authorities

April 2008

Important note:
The Doctors and Dentists Review Body (DDRB) has not set collaborative arrangement fees for 2006/07 or 2007/08 and seems unlikely to do so in future, but has advised doctors to set their own fees for work performed under the collaborative arrangements.The BMA advises individual doctors and GP practices that they should establish their own fees for this work. The BMA also advises doctors that it is their individual decision whether or not to continue carrying out work under the collaborative arrangements based on the rates published for 2005/06 and included in this schedule. It is also the decision of individual doctors whether to use the 2005/06 fee rates as a reference point and then apply an annual increase based on their own rate.

Further information is given in the BMA guidance note on the collaborative arrangements .
