That rather depends whether we really want to be walked over again. I
believe, and so do HMG, that the profession has a negative attitude to pay
rises. They are dirty words and far beneath the attention of those who
negotiate for us. Chisholm &Co have their priorities wrong. They are
trade unionists first and NHS custodians second - or should be. It's about
time they were reminded of this. For their part HMG are vulnerable in NHS
terms despite their majority. Dobbo has promised 7000 new docs and 14,000
new nurses - from where? The 55-60 year olds will be tempted to chuck it
in in droves if RB interefered with. PCGs come on-line April 1st 1999.
Significant or what? Blair and Brown have antagonised docs and nurses
over review body strictures. Do you want to be swatted like a fly? I
believe GPs have more bottle than that and more self-respect.
On the verification issue - contact Dr Paul Thomas 01473 832832. He's had
fun and games about this.
Regards
David
