We’ve received yet another email from a frustrated member:
I have just had my supperannuation cheque returned from [X] PCT as it is just over the 10 weeks, even though as pointed out to them i only got the paper work and cheque from the practice 1 week ago and the forms were dated so.
We wrote to the BMA 2 weeks ago (no reply yet) with this list of PCTs (as a result of our member survey) where locums have experienced problems submitting their payments where these PCTs have cited either the 10 week rule (locum form A) – or the 7 day rule (locum form B):
- Berkshire West
- West Sussex
- East Sussex
- Bury (Lancashire)
- Surrey
- Nottingham County
- Hampshire
- Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire
- Kingston
- Wandsworth
- Croydon
- Sutton & Merton
