It will be "interesting" to say the least when the GP's on the PCG board
decide that it is your practice who the finger of shame points at this week,
for over referring, over prescribing, underprescribing, highest complaints,
most list removals or whatever bit of "clinical governace" is the flavour of
the month.
How confident are we that our commercial competitors in the same locality
based PCG are in a position to take an impartial view?
