I am responding on behalf of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the 40th report of the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration (DDRB). The report has been laid before Parliament today (Cm 8301). Copies of the report are available to hon. Members from the Vote Office and to noble Lords from the Printed Paper Office. I am grateful to the chair and members of the DDRB for their report.

We welcome the 40th report of the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration and note its observations and recommendation to the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government are still considering the recommendation and expect to be in a position to make a decision by the end of the month. We will take forward the suggested actions, which will help us continue to improve our support for the DDRB’s important work.
