Well, the budget is for providing all care to all the people
registered with one of the (currently) practices in the PCG.
So if one ofthose people is being treated, the costs come from that
budget.
If the "treatment" is not good medicine then this would be a matter
for clinical governance, and the CG team are from the PCG for
primary care, and presumably from the local DGH for secondary care.
Thought: how about CG in private hospitals? Like that Gynae chap
in the South East, who only got shpped when one of his mistakes had
to be patched up in the local DGH - William Harvey was it?
