About half the membership of the BHIA is medical, never mind GPs.
Its aims have little to do with the actual delivery of health care, and
much more to do with the technology of the Internet and its use in
healthcare. (As the title was carefully chose to suggest)

There is another disadvantage, which is that our health service
doesn't pay for them.
What it does believe it has purchased is many other things,
for which there is minimal time, and a great deal of time-consuming and
mind-boggling administration.
Home visiting combines the least value in reimbursement, in medical
effectiveness, and in coercion from on high.
When times are tight, you ditch the bottom tasks from the stack.
