Iraq: Field Hospitals

Question
My Lords, does the Minister believe that the Armed Forces Pay Review Body has made a generous settlement for service doctors?
Answer

My Lords, the Government have accepted in full the pay recommendations of the independent body for service medical and dental officers. The recommendations seek a balance with the Government’s approach to public-sector pay, including the Chancellor’s view that pay awards should be in line with the inflation target of 2 per cent, the prevailing economic conditions and DMS manning, recruitment and retention.
