This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Subject to any exceptions which he may specify, the Secretary of State may direct that a District Health Authority shall pay to a registered medical practitioner for each certificate duly sent by him under section 11 above a fee of such amount as the direction may specify.
(2)The Secretary of State may direct that different fees shall be paid under this section in relation to different circumstances.
(3)A direction under this section may make provision in relation to fees payable after a date specified in the direction.
(4)The date may be before or after the date of the direction but may not be before if it would be to the detriment of registered medical practitioners.
(5)Before giving a direction as to a fee under this section, the Secretary of State shall consult any body accepted by him as a proper body for negotiating fees for registered medical practitioners.
(6)For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that the fact that a registered medical practitioner who gives a certificate under section 11 above holds the office to whose holder the certificate is required to be sent does not disentitle him to payment of the fee (if any) payable for the certificate.
