Good stuff' but what i think would also happen is that the out patient contracts would also be given out to Chiropractor / osteopaths etc. They're bound to exploit the situation.

To reply to Martins point,
I reckon Managers might take notice if we did a few things:
Make sure orthopods know about it, those that are sympathetic or concerned
regarding there patinet list would cancel cold surgery lists. This would
create big problems waiting list wise, which endangers managers jobs.
Get the media involved and therefore the public.
Get patient groups involove, MS, stroke society etc. love physios and have
a reasonably powerful voice.
I hate to say it get celebs involved, for every thousnad health
professional voice saying give more staff/more resources/ more pay one Geri
Halliwell is more likelyt to be heard.
Just a thought, may be point out to Alan Milburn that if he gave a bit may
be agency staff and private physios would return to the NHS. I know I
would not be so keen to leave.
Thanks in advance,
John
