Although I fear the major increase likely to come our way with the new GP
contract (and who will wait 48 hours to see a GP when they can see us
within a guarunteed 4 hours anyway)I was slightly reassured after a chat
with one of the local GP's today on my way out via the GP co-op, he is a
sensible chap as well as being my own GP, He was saying that the devil as
ever is in the detail. This year they lose 6K if they drop OOH but this is
not a permanent rate and next year the cost may be higher so there is a
significant threat that if too many drop out there will be a big hike in
the cost of that drop out. He reckons the PCT will use this to maintain the
cover.
I do hope so because we have a good group of GP's in our area in general
and without them I will be packed off to the funny farm in very short
order!

committments.
