Fee proposal designed to meet members’ concerns
Concessionary fees included in the proposed new fee structure for members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (see p199) have been introduced to take on board the concerns expressed by members, says the Society’s Treasurer, John Jolley.
Speaking after the August
Council meeting, the Treasurer said: “The
Council has had a long and thoughtful debate about the issue of the structure
for fees and the level of fees for 2006. We were mindful to take on board
the concerns that had been raised by the members while ensuring that
the Society’s income stream remains at a level that can sustain
our activities as a regulatory and professional body.
“I am confident that the decisions we have taken strike the right
balance between providing support for members, while allowing us to progress
with our five-year financial strategy. This will help secure the future
financial health of the Society by allowing us to establish a level of
reserves to protect us against the unknown challenges of the future.”
