This Policy Directive addresses the rights of private practice arrangements for Staff Specialists in respect of fees that can be charged where medical gap cover insurance is held, the availability of medical indemnity, and the disbursement of funds from the No. 1 Account. This Policy Directive does not introduce any changes to existing practices, but does extend the period in which Staff Specialists can be reimbursed medical indemnity costs from 30 June 2016 to 30 June 2017.
