GPs who disagree with a health authority's decision may appeal to the Secretary of State. (The actual term used in the Red Book is 'making representations'.)
A separate appeal system exists for the rent and rates scheme. For all other appeals, a GP who is dissatisfied with a decision on remuneration must send relevant information to the health authority. If it does not alter its decision the GP may then appeal to the Secretary of State. This must be done as soon as possible after receiving the authority's final decision. The GP must submit a case to the Secretary of State explaining the grounds of the appeal.
If a doctor is dissatisfied with a health authority decision about an application or claim which has been refused on the grounds of its management of its cash allocation, or about a health promotion or chronic disease management programme, representations can only be made on the grounds that the authority failed to follow Red Book procedures or failed to take account of material written evidence.
