Mark Russell makes a claim in his recent posting about the SCP debate
that many members would be interested in hearing about such issues on
this mailbase. I think that is not the case. I would be grateful if
users would indicate their position.

'As a single member group you may not be aware of these matters.'
Obviously not. Is everyone else?
I am truly sorry that you seem so reticent in discussing professional
strategy. Surely an open debate on direction would be desirable and
beneficial, especially in the prevailing political climate that you
refer to. I'm sure many of your own membership would have delighted in
participation too.
As far as the plan is concerned, I can only conclude that I have been
sent a different one than that yourself. I fail to see, in mine, any
cohesive strategy which links the various objectives in a way that
adequately address the issues currently facing the profession. That is
why I am asking you to explain your thinking. Do you consider that too
much to ask?
We know where the profession is at the moment. We know the difficulties
with public delivery, both for clinicians and patients alike. We also
know the problems stemming from inadequate legislation. What I would
like you to do is to outline your [the Society's] vision of how you
might like the profession to look in three years time and how you intend
to get there, taking into consideration all the current issues in the
political and professional arenas. That way we can have an intelligent
debate on whether the policy objectives are realistic and robust. You
never know; you might even get some support.
Out of curiosity, how many policy objectives from the first strategic
plan were achieved and what impact have they had on influencing practice
delivery over the last three years?
Best wishes
MR
