The Council

Transparent changes to Council’s fees

From Mr M. A. Walker, MRPharmS

I hope that our elected members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Council will take account of John Balmford’s recommendation (PJ, 14 January, p39) that fees paid to Council members are approved by members of the Society at the Society’s annual general meeting.

Most members of the Society do not begrudge paying Council members a decent attendance allowance and expenses to cover any absence from their employment, etc. However, if members of the Society are excluded from the approval process then conspiracy theorists will have a field day.

Our elected Council members spend a great deal of time working for the benefit of members of the Society. Let us encourage them to continue doing so, in a fully transparent manner.

Mark Walker
