Primecare. I think they were looking for GPs to handle phone calls from
home---I enquired but the money was crap.
I am a bit unclear about exactly why they lost or thought they would lose so
much business given that there does seem to be a widespread shortage of GPs
willing to carry on working OOH the way they used to. Or am I guilty of
reading too many doom and gloom reports in the comics? Was it just one or
two areas where they had committed major investment and ruined by a handful
of PCTs? And are said PCTs perhaps being too confident in their abilities to
provide a service? Given recent comments (whichever gov body it was) on
skill deficiencies in PCTs?

Ah.
But.
This is only semi-private.
When nGP IT cocks its heels and dies, is it likely that Granger et al will
be busted to tea-boys? I think unlikely. Voltaire was right, of course.
