Re: re:new practitioner and SSR and EHPA

[Guest guest]

Hi again Hannah

As far as I am aware it is hoped that the Reg fig can be got down to £500

but there may be variations on this according to options in HMRWG report?

I believe there is some debate at present over who is a member of the EHPA,

the members or associations. If members, as I think was stated at the EHPA

meeting in Feb last year, we should all be able to vote and have the option

not to be members, if we are not, individual members of EHPA then we would

not have a right to vote but then why are we paying individual levies to the

EHPA.

These issues are I believe being addressed at present and may have been

resolved by now?
