Just for your interest, the going rate by some company to provide NHS-D
is UKP2.00 per head of population!!
In a coop of about 100,000 people, that would be 200,000 pounds paid to
the company, whereas the coop probably gets around 1400 pounds per GP =
70,000 total.
It gets better if the said company covers a metropolis of few millions,
specially when they can use existing *free* GPs to pickk up the pieces,
yes? ;-)
Wake up you lot!
