Ryewolf that is spot on.
They also get paid for doing illness prevention issues. Hence the reason why women get called for smears, the invite certain sectors of their patients for MOT’s….certain sectors are called for heart checks, blood pressure checks, respiratory checks, diabetic clinic.
The list goes on and on.
The practice you and I are at also has doctors who are not at work because they are lecturing at Manchester Universities…now they do not do that from the goodness of their hearts.
Looking after the people wha are I’ll and need them falls low on the list of economic opportunity.
The set up is all wrong, but the GP’s are not employed by the NHS….they are working for the NHS but as a sub contractor.
