The gov doesn't like independent mediation. The GPs got a 50% pay award last time. So they introduced the independent pay review body, which was to pay no attention to political desires for pay rise levels as it was agreed that using medical staff to control inflation was silly as their pay has no effect on inflation. Tories got rid of the pay body as he preferred direct negotiations, kept being taken to cleaners, so introduced Dependent Pay Review body that we have today.
