Issue 40 – April 2011PSAU3162 - has created the Final Seniority Factors (or Actual National Average SR amounts)for England and Wales, as follows:• Final Seniority Factor (FSF) for England = £90,375• Final Seniority Factor (FSF) for Wales = £78,938These are in both instances lower than the Welsh and English Interim Seniority Figure of£95,355 so English and Welsh FSFs result in less GPs having Seniority Abatement applied tothem. Reconciliation of Seniority Payments therefore results in additional moneys being paidretrospectively to those GPs to whom abatement now no longer applies. Clawbacks aretherefore not required.Further information on the 2007/8 Final Seniority Factor is obtainable from the InformationCentre website by accessing the link:• http://www.ic.nhs.uk/tscPSAU3262 has also been issued via SIS T/10306.
