The figures are £93,972 in England, £82,099 in Wales and £83,131 in Northern Ireland and will be used by NHS payment agencies to determine the level of the seniority payments for 2011/12. The figures were published by the Technical Steering Committee, which has representatives from NHS Employers, the General Practitioners Committee (GPC) and the Health Departments for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Payment agencies can now use the figures to assess interim seniority payments to GPs for 2011/12.
