<<Before you spring to the defence of Dr Roberts,>>
I will not spill blood today, I taped Mad Max this week....
But remember that the dedicated single-hander out in the asshole of
Fermanagh (been there, did the locum) has no hope of financial survival
without dispensing. If a pharmacy moves in (with ESPS assistance) that GP
has two choices---pack up and leave or ...pack up and leave. It is
happening and even our health board has voted lots of money to support
those GPs affected by pharmacists coming in, money to support them and
keep them in the wee villages.
Of course the answer is obvious---flexible rules to allow ruling bodies to
consider above all the needs of people in tiny rural communities without
reference to urban England but since when has the NHS ever been flexible?
