uin	28769
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>The pay calculator accurately reflects the position of junior doctors were they to be working any of the illustrative rotas in the pay calculator. As pay is directly related to the number of hours worked including the number of unsocial hours, different rotas will give different results. NHS Employers are considering how to provide more information for juniors who are working a different balance of hours from those in the illustrative rotas.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 02/03/2016 12:32:33 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

The limits on working hours in the new contract were agreed in discussions with the BMA and include a maximum of four consecutive night shifts and a minimum of 48 hours rest after three or four consecutive night shifts. We have also agreed to review the operation of the contract with the BMA to identify whether we can move further on night working.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 02/03/2016 12:38:38 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the illustrative rotas for junior doctors, published by NHS Employers on 18 February 2016, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of doctors switching to night shifts for a single shift only on the effectiveness of those rotas.

This would include the pattern of working night shifts subject to the limitations in the new contract. NHS Employers is committed to supporting employers to adhere to good rostering practices as the new contract is introduced and will feed this into the contract review process agreed with the British Medical Association as part of the contract negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 02/03/2016 12:34:37 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the capacity within the illustrative rota for junior doctors, published by NHS Employers on 18 February 2016, to (a) take sick leave, (b) take study leave, (c) take annual leave, (d) work-part time and (e) gain required out-of-hours experience.
tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Hall Green
tabling member printed	Mr Roger Godsiff
uin	28778
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>The rotas used in the calculator are actual examples of rotas being used in the National Health Service, appropriately adjusted to reflect the rules agreed in negotiations with the British Medical Association and included in the new contract. These rotas are illustrative. The work schedule process that underpins the new contract will allow for study leave and annual leave. Sick leave is generally covered by engaging a locum. Where doctors are training on a part time basis, work schedules are adjusted to reflect that. Any curriculum requirements to work out of hours would be addressed as part of the work scheduling process for the training programme concerned.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 02/03/2016 12:42:15 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
