Issue 40 – April 2011ED]New GMS Contract Details Qualifier[5E6/P00001/WILL1/*B ]Partnership code. WILL1 Start Date 11.04.2010 End DatePartnership name. PENNY'S FIRST PRACTICEPMS Practice budget amount (FY 2010/2011) :BaselineContract Value (0.00% Superannuation) . . . . . . . 5666666.67Level of reporting required 'S'ummary or 'D'etail . DDrugs Paid (Y/N) . . . . . . [N]Disp Fees, On Cost & Oxygen (Y/N) . . . .[N]Figure 20: ED Screen ExampleSites have requested that NMPP processing is changed so that it recognises where both DrugsPaid and Dispensing Fees are set to ‘N’ (don’t pay) and interprets this as a zero payment. Thiswould ignore any negative claw-backs of Prescription Charges that may also be recorded on theincoming Drugs File (this might generate a net negative payment which is excluded as anexception by FJ-NMPP).This change will require revisions to the FJ-NMPP module which processes the DRUGS inputfile, ^DRGSGMPP. This currently reads the setting of the ‘Drugs Paid’ and the ‘Dispensing FeesPaid’ from variables DRUGP and DRUGA. If both of these are set to a value of ‘N’ then allDRUGS amounts for the Practice (including Prescription Charges) are to be zeroised and anappropriate exception record generated. This should be reasonably straightforward, as old (preSPP2) code appears to already exist relating to such an exception type.2.3.4 CR 1270 – Proposes a change to FJ-GPIA Seniority Paymentsprocessing (and associated changes to GD Page 4) to retain theamended SR recorded on GD screen and use this within FJ-GPIA forthe purposes of calculating abatementCR 1270 has been requested to resolve the following problems associated with the FJ-GPIASeniority Payment calculation. Change of Partnership during the Payment Quarter undervaluesthe affected GPs’ recorded superannuable remuneration during the quarter leading to aninappropriate application of seniority payment abatement. This can be overcome by manuallyamending SR on GD Page 4 prior to running FJ-GPIA. However, as this amended figure is notretained by the system, deletion of GPIA causes the system to revert the page 4 GP SR back toits original low value.The system needs to stop undervaluing GP earnings associated with an in-quarter partnershipchange – or at least retain the amendment to the SR recorded on GD page 4 so that theseamendments do not need to be reapplied following FJ-GPIA deletion.Retention of the amended GD Page 4 figure for SR is the cheapest and lowest risk solution toassist correct calculation of GPIA avoiding inappropriate abatement of GPs’ seniority. Thisrequires the amended figure to be recorded on a new dedicated global and GPIA processing tobe amended to recognise existence of the Global Node and access the amended SR amount.2.4 Further Additional Information2.4.1 Change Requests raised since beginning of February 2011Four new CRs have been raised since publication of the February issue of New GMS News.20 © Crown Copyright
