Annual payment for one Additional Programmed Activity:
| Threshold | 01.04.2019 | 01.04.2020 |

The value of an Additional Programmed Activity (APA) is 10% of basic salary plus 10% of any CEA award up to level 9. Where an honorary consultant holds discretionary points or a local CEA above the level 9 discretionary point, the APA is capped at level 9 / Bronze level (£36,192 at April 2017 rate). Payment for an APA is therefore based on 10% basic salary plus a maximum amount of 10% of £36,192.
