Do we really think that Gp's want to be doing this kind of stuff........and at what cost....they aren't going to do it for 'thanks very much' they will wnat to be paid for it. How does that save money then???

I argree this "shake up" will not save money and it will not improve anything, it will not improve the role of nurses who have better things to do in 12 hour shift work.. and as for the GP's who already have a hefty workload it will be a nightmare.
How does this work?... a patient goes to see the GP, he/she may have a minor problem or a serious condition.. either way the GP has to make a decision and take into account the finances of his/her practice.. I can see it ending up were a patient sees a GP for a few minutes but he resulting financial meetings take all day!... all GP's will have to take on accountants and extra secretaries .. and possibly yet another major computer system costing billions that does not work... this has nothing to do with an improved NHS.. it's got alot to do with an idealogical, almost obsessive problem the Tories have with the NHS.
