FPN 473 'Arrangements for General Ophthalmic Services from April 1 1989' states in paragraph 11: 'Private tests subsequently brought within the GOS in accordance with paragraphs 6-11 above will be subject to the provisions of the practitioner's terms of service' - ie it is not merely a reduction in fee to a level that provides no remuneration nor even covers overheads, but forces me into working against my will for the NHS.

During the course of your employment...and will not practise as an optometrist/dispensing optician other than for the employer, without the consent in writing of the employer.'
