Oh for heaven's sake! What is the point of banging on about what the
so-called caveats must be when there ARE NO CAVEATS. Read our lips! There
ARE NO CAVEATS. The HAs / HMG are unilaterally imposing a new system on us.
They can do whatever they damn well like, especially if nice, well-meaning
doctors like you look at their plans through rose-tinted specs and think
they are *gentlemen* (or *ladies*) and will do the honourable thing.
Do you perchance remember a certain rotund one in Hush Puppies who assured
us that money would follow extra work etc etc..? And do you also
remember the clawbacks that followed, penalising GPs who didn't prostitute
themselves with spurious *clinics*.
Do you also remember the staged pay awards, year after year, in the "common
economic interest"?
Ro you *really* believe that you can enforce your own caveats? If so,
please tell us how! After all, that is what DFI , Contras etc are actually
looking for, but the problem is there won't be any way. Unless the
profession unites to say "No caveats, No deal" there will be hundreds of
little PCGs all being trampled on.
What I want with the Contras is a group who can share ways of enforcing
their own caveats. DFI is similar in outlook, but a broader scope.
JOIN before it is too late!!
