HELP!
My FHSA/HA (Brent and Harrow) have just allocated a patient to me from
outside our FHSA agreed area. I don't wish to breach patient confidence
with details but I am frightened to accept this patient.
My FHSA says they have a right to allocate patients even if the live
outside my area. I think this is wrong and unjust.
The BMA say they don't know (well that,s worth £20 per month) and have
advised me to remove the patient before seeing him which I have done.
Does anyone know the law here.
Big implications because if they can do it to me they can do it to you.
BTW, I think this is a sign of the ne HA/GP relationship;authoritarian,
unjust and uncaring.
