Junior doctors can claim £10,000 for ‘life admin’

The Telegraph  

MPs have questioned why additional benefits, such as the trainee relocation and travel funds, have seemingly been left out of the BMA’s campaigning. Paul Bristow, Conservative MP for Peterborough and member of the health select committee, said: “I think it is absolutely right that junior doctors can access this budget during training. “Ministers must ensure that when discussing pay, they view negotiations in the round.” ‘Misleading’ Under the scheme, trainees can claim solicitors’ and estate agents’ fees, stamp duty, land registry fees, survey fees, any incidental legal expenses, and temporary accommodation expenses. Dr Vivek Trivedi, co-chairman of the BMA junior doctors committee, said: “It is misleading to suggest that junior doctors derive any financial gain from this policy. Due to the national recruitment process for medical training, junior doctors typically move across the country between trusts or GP practices many times over the course of their training.
