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 pay review of Service Medical and Dental Officer recommends: a one per cent increase in basic pay to all ranks within the Medical and Dental Officer cadre; a one per cent increase in General Medical Practitioner and General Dental Practitioner Trainer Pay and Associate Trainer Pay; a 0.5 percentage point increase in X-Factor from 14.0 per cent to 14.5 per cent, in line with the main remit group; that MOD reconsiders how to best include Medical and Dental Officers in the future Armed Forces Pension Scheme.
