This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 38th Report by the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body (Cm. 7516, ISBN 9780101751926), and provides independent advice to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Defence on remuneration and charges for members of the naval, military and air forces of the Crown. The key recommendations in this Review are as follows: a 2.8% increase in military salaries; a 2.8% increase in specialist pay, compensatory allowances and reserves' bonuses; 3.7% increase in Grade 1 SFA/SLA rental charges and lower graduated increases below Grade 1, a further phased increase to garage rent and daily food charge of £4.07. Also there are specific targeted pay measures, including: a 5% minimum pay increase on promotion to OR6; new commitment bonuses and associated transitional arrangements; a reduction in the qualifying periods for longer separation allowance; new pay spines and specialist pay for service nurses; a new RN Clearance Divers' pay spine and two new supplementary rates of diving pay for EOD qualified divers and targeted increases to hydrographic pay. The Review Body estimates that the above recommendations will add 3.4% to the Armed Forces' pay bill. The Review Body also see the weakening labour market as giving the Services an advantage in recruitment and retention, but new policies will be needed to compete in the labour market, when the country emerges from recession. A more strategic approach is also required to review elements of the remuneration package. The Review Body stresses the need to deliver on the Government's commitments under the Service Personnel Command Paper (Cm.7472, ISBN 9780101742429) and specifically to push forward on support for home ownership.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Senior Salaries Review Body's remit now covers certain senior managers in the National Health Service, as well as leaders in the law, the armed forces and the Civil Service. The Body detects signs that the pay of these groups is falling increasingly behind that of comparable groups in the wider public and private sectors, and that is beginning to cause problems of recruitment, retention and morale. The increases proposed are moderate, but the report stresses that it would be against the public interest in the longer term if the quality or performance of the state's senior managers and judges were to deteriorate.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting & retaining the right number of well-trained personnel is vital for the continuing success of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces. Yet recruitment and retention targets are not being met. There is particular concern about shortages in 'pinchpoint' trades - trades or areas of expertise where there is not enough trained strength to perform operational tasks without encroaching on the time provided between deployments for recuperation, training and leave. This report sets out to examine the factors which hamper recruitment and retention in the Armed Forces and reservists & identify what the MoD is doing to improve these. There is also concern and exmination of the issue of why ethnic minority personnel form such a low proportion of the Armed Forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two main aims: firstly, to provide a rare, detailed description of the use of a psychoanalytically informed, reflexive research method to achieve an in-depth understanding of social phenomena; and secondly, to throw some much needed light onto the complex, intrapsychic and interpersonal influences that impact upon "military wives" who accompany members of the British Armed Forces to postings overseas. These arguments are particularly relevant at a time when the military is over-stretched, given that unhappy wives can adversely affect the retention of servicemen. This is an important contribution to the on-going development of psycho-social studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report sets out recommendations on pay in the Defence Medical Services (DMS) from 1 April 2010 together with the supporting evidence. The context is one of continuing economic uncertainty, sustained commitment to operations in Afghanistan and continued manning shortfalls. The aim is to maintain broad pay comparability with National Health Service (NHS) doctors and dentists and to enable the DMS to recruit, retain and motivate suitably qualified personnel. In 2009, Defence Medical Service manning generally continued the positive trend of recent years. As at 1 April, the trained strength of Medical Officers was 74 per cent of the trained requirement - an increase of 32 trained Medical Officers. Trained Dental Officer manning was 92 per cent of requirement, accounted for by increased numbers obtaining accreditation. DMS recruitment continued with some success but still fell short of targets for Medical Officers and Dental Officers. While the DMS has been able to meet all of its operational commitments, this has only been achieved by augmenting the Regulars with a mix of Reserves, NHS and contract staff. It is recognised that pay was not the only solution to manning shortfalls and that non-pay related measures may have a role to play in addressing retention. Pay recommendations range from no increase to 1.5 per cent for certain grades. The Review Body encourages MOD to make progress on measures outside of pay to help DMS recruit and retain the highly skilled and motivated personnel needed to address current and future challenges.

This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 41st Report by the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body, and provides independent advice to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Defence on remuneration and charges for members of the naval, military and air forces of the Crown. As last year the Secretary of State for Defence directed the Review Body to confine recommendations on an overall pay uplift to those earning £21,000 or less because of the two-year pay freeze imposed across the public sector. The main recomendation is for an increase of £250 in military salaries for those earning £21,000 or less. A number of other recommendations are made on targeted pay measures and accommodation and food charges.

This book was released on 2008-02-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee investigated the provision of healthcare for the armed forces, and examined six key areas. The first was the treatment of personnel seriously wounded on operations, and the procedures for caring for them, from the point of wounding to evacuation to and treatment in the United Kingdom. The second area was the rehabilitation work for those with serious musculo-skeletal or neurological, injuries. The third was the relationship between the Ministry of Defence and the National Health Service in terms of delivering healthcare. The fourth area examined was the care for veterans and service families. The fifth issue was mental healthcare, both for service personnel and for veterans. Finally, the report examines the role of reserve personnel in the Defence Medical Services. Clinical care provided by the Defence Medical Services (DMS), in conjunction with the NHS, for personnel injured on operations is world-class. Rehabilitation work is also found to be exceptional. Services to the armed forces are delivered by the DMS, NHS, charities and welfare organisations, and this helps link the community with service personnel. The Committee would like a wider debate on which services are most appropriately provided by each sector. The Ministry of Defence's decision to base its secondary care around units embedded in NHS Trust is supported, but there is scope for more sharing of best practice between the DMS and the NHS. With veterans, the Committee is not sure adequate procedures are in place to identify veterans and to ensure priority access to services. Mental health is a vital responsibility for DMS, but a robust tracking system for veterans is needed. The reserve forces' contribution to the delivery of military healthcare is praised, but there is a danger of being overstretched.

This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the thirty-fourth report on senior salaries with the remit of providing independent advice to the Prime Minister, the Lord Chancellor, the Secretary of State for Defence and the Secretary of State for Health on the remuneration of holders of judicial office; senior civil servants; senior officers of the armed forces; very senior managers in the NHS; and other such public appointments. However it covers the second year of the Government's pay freeze for public sector workers paid over £21,000 a year. Therefore, no recommendations for the relevant remit groups could be made. The Review Body report concentrates accordingly on any evidence about recruitment, retention or motiviation, and sets out its views on changes it would like to see in the pay and performance management systems for the remit groups, systems which are nearly all currently under review.

This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 33rd report on senior salaries from the Review Body on Senior Salaries. Following the Coalition Government's announcement to tackle the budget deficit, a two-year pay freeze for all public sector workers paid more than £21,000 was put in place. This Review therefore makes no general recommendations for pay increases for the remit groups normally covered by this review, which include senior civil service, military officers and certain senior managers in the NHS. The Review Body though was already engaged in a major review of the judicial pay structure, although implementation of these recommendations for the judiciary may be affected by the overall pay freeze. The Review has set out 10 recommendations, including: that for senior officers in the armed forces the Ministry of Defence should review the performance management and pay system to define the objectives of performance-related pay and whether the existing system can be improved. The other recommendations look at the judiciary. The publication is divided into five chapters, with nine appendices
