No way Danny, look at the miserable failure of those "euro-docs" that have been tried so far. Fast-tracking and streaming only gets patients into beds quicker; they still need physicians and surgeons when they get there. Most of the elective targets are surgery related. NHS Direct has done nothing to off-load our workload (apart from freeing my time from phone calls). There's no way HMG can run the NHS without us!
