Regulation 22 Payment of salaries
Subject to paragraphs (2) and (4), the members of a fund-holding practice may apply the allotted sum for the purpose of paying the salaries of those employees or members of the practice who are employed–
to provide treatment to the patients of the members of the practice; or
in connection with the management or administration of the practice.
Where an FHSA has, before the date on which the members of a fund-holding practice were granted recognition as a fund-holding practice, reimbursed a member of the practice in respect of a proportion of the salary of an employee of his, then the members of the fund-holding practice may apply the allotted sum for the purpose of paying, in respect of periods after that date, only that proportion of the salary of that employee or of any person employed in place of that employee to perform substantially the same functions.
The members of a fund-holding practice may apply the allotted sum for the purpose of paying fees to persons for providing, on the practice premises, services which are necessary for the proper treatment of individuals who are on the lists of patients of the members of the practice.
The members of a fund-holding practice shall not apply the allotted sum for the purpose of employing or engaging the services of a medical practitioner except for the purposes of providing to individuals who are on the lists of patients of members of the practice such services as are included in the list mentioned in regulation 20(2).
