Will there be a funding issue do you think? Alun Milburn's letter
recommends 1 - 2 nurses therefore there may be only enough funding from HA
& Community Trust to support that recommendation.
Picking up Ahmad's point about the separate status of PNs and other
community nurses, there will be similar independance/autonomy issues as GPs
have raised but obviously not the same financial stakes. At Trust level we
will all be employed by the Trust including some GPs should they wish.
It will be a huge upheaval for all concerned!
