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.

Download or read book Review of Compensation Levels Incentives and the Clinical Excellence and Distinction Award Schemes for NHS Consultants written by Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration is an independent body that makes recommendations to the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Health, and the appropriate Ministers and departments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in respect of pay. The Review takes in account the following considerations: (i) The need to recruit, retain and motivate doctors and dentists; (ii) Regional/local variations in labour markets; (iii) The funds available to the Health Departments; (iv) The overall strategy of the NHS in respect of patient care. The consultant body is comprised of the most senior medical and dental staff in the NHS, who have expert knowledge in their specialities. The Review Body concludes that the overall compensation for consultants is appropriate, but has some reservations about existing schemes and believes that awards should not be a substitute for pay progression. The Review Body outlines a proposed integrated package and career structure for consultants.
Download or read book Whole of government accounts 2009 10 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2011, HM Treasury published the first audited Whole of Government Accounts (WGA), covering the year 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 (HC 1601, ISBN 9780102975192). The Committee welcomes this major step forward in improving transparency and accountability and highlights some of the information it contains: at 31 March 2010 the government's public service pensions liability was around £1,132 billion; the present value of its future commitments under PFI schemes was £131.5 billion; the government wrote off £10.9 billion in unpaid taxes and expected to have to pay £15.7 billion for outstanding clinical negligence claims; cost of future nuclear decommissioning (£56.7 billion); the need for stronger accountability systems to secure effective responsibility for cost and value for money at local levels - academies, Free Schools, Foundation Trusts and GP consortia. But the WGA will only serve its purpose- showing what the government owns, owes, spends and receives - if it is timely and robust. The figures in the first audited WGA are too dated because Treasury took 20 months to prepare and publish the report. Treasury must address the issues that led the Comptroller and Auditor General to qualify his audit opinion on the WGA 2009-10. A key issue is Treasury's decision to deviate from accounting standards, by omitting Network Rail, the publicly owned banks, and various other government-controlled or owned bodies from the WGA. The Committee sets out a set of principles that future accounts should follow.
Download or read book Review Body on Doctors and Dentists Remuneration fortieth report 2012 written by Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the June 2010 Budget, the government announced a two year public sector pay freeze from 2011-12 for public sector workforces earning in excess of £21,000 per annum on a full-time equivalent basis. Due to the pay freeze, the Review Body is not required to make recommendations on the remuneration of doctors and dentists, including independent contractor general medical practitioners (GMPs) and general dental practitioners (GDPs), in the United Kingdom for 2012-13, as all doctors and dentists have full-time equivalent earnings of more than £21,000 per annum. In the context of this revised remit, the Review Body has continued to monitor recruitment, retention, motivation and other relevant matters, and those topics form the bulk of this report.
Download or read book The UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights written by Marco Odello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book concerns the study and analysis of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights from an international legal perspective, taking into consideration the adoption of the 2008 Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The volume provides a detailed account of the structure and functioning of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the light of its jurisprudence, through a study of the Committee’s procedures and practices (periodic reports and general comments), including taking into account the Optional Protocol for individual complaint procedure. The book considers the possible implications of the work of this Committee on other UN Committees, such as the Human Rights Committee and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, as well as considering the repercussions of its work on the international protection of fundamental rights, such as the right to education, to health and adequate food. The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights will be of particular interest to academics and students of International and Human Rights law.
Download or read book Genetic Resources and Traditional Knowledge written by Tania Bubela and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study describes efforts to define and protect traditional knowledge and the associated issues of access to genetic resources, from the negotiation of the Convention on Biological Diversity to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Nagoya Protocol. Drawing on the expertise of local specialists from around the globe, the chapters judiciously mix theory and empirical evidence to provide a deep and convincing understanding of traditional knowledge, innovation, access to genetic resources, and benefit sharing. Because traditional knowledge was understood in early negotiations to be subject to a property rights framework, these often became bogged down due to differing views on the rights involved. New models, developed around the notion of distributive justice and self-determination, are now gaining favor. This book suggests – through a discussion of theory and contemporary case studies from Brazil, India, Kenya and Canada – that a focus on distributive justice best advances the interests of indigenous peoples while also fostering scientific innovation in both developed and developing countries. Comprehensive as well as nuanced, Genetic Resources and Traditional Knowledge will be of great interest to scholars and students of law, political science, anthropology and geography. National and international policymakers and those interested in the environment, indigenous peoples' rights and innovation will find the book an enlightening resource.
Download or read book The Galapagos written by Henry Nicholls and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin called it "a little world within itself." Sailors referred to it as "Las Encantadas"- the enchanted islands. Lying in the eastern Pacific Ocean, straddling the equator off the west coast of South America, the Galágos is the most pristine archipelago to be found anywhere in the tropics. It is so remote, so untouched, that the act of wading ashore can make you feel like you are the first to do so. Yet the Galágos is far more than a wild paradise on earth-it is one of the most important sites in the history of science. Home to over 4,000 species native to its shores, around 40 percent of them endemic, the islands have often been called a "laboratory of evolution." The finches collected on the Galágos inspired Darwin's revolutionary theory of natural selection. In The Galágos, science writer Henry Nicholls offers a lively natural and human history of the archipelago, charting its course from deserted wilderness to biological testing ground and global ecotourism hot spot. Describing the island chain's fiery geological origins as well as our species' long history of interaction with the islands, he draws vivid portraits of the life forms found in the Galágos, capturing its awe-inspiring landscapes, understated flora, and stunning wildlife. Nicholls also reveals the immense challenges facing the islands, which must continually balance conservation and ever encroaching development. Beautifully weaving together natural history, evolutionary theory, and his own experience on the islands, Nicholls shows that the story of the Galágos is not merely an isolated concern, but reflects the future of our species' relationship with nature-and the fate of our planet.
