The Chancellor said:
" National Health Service
208.The Comprehensive Spending Review will determine
overall priorities for the early decades of the new century." **
which is fine, but we now seem to be expecting it to tell us
what to buy this year.
I do think it is a pity to hold up everything and ensure that what
should be a new beginning is in fact a muddling through, with the
opportunities to change the way we work, and to minimise the loss of
medical time from the service of the core activities of general
practice (saving lives and making money) at the time when it is most
desirable that the changes are led by the profession at a local and
individual level.
There are various examples of what one can get use form in running a
professional org of 60 partners, but the experience of the legal and
financial professions does not necessarily transfer directly across to
us.
Nevertheless, I am surprised that PHCSG didn't have a lawyer or
accountant telling them how his firm had set up their intranet and
networked knowledge services...piece by piece I suppose is the answer,
but the final form would be worth seeing.
