(Director of Human Resources for the NHS) PowerPoint presentation on
this it is about 600k  - I could send it to the list or to those that

KEY ISSUES
BMA think managers will not use the contract
Tools that must be used
- agreeing new job plans with more clinical care
- only paying extra for work already done to the deserving few who do
the most
- using evening and weekend sessions
- using the extra plain time rate sessions
- agreeing important and stretching objectives
- withholding pay progression if not earned
- implementing the private practice rule book
