Utopia???
Yes I agree that this sounds good, but what about cost-rents, etc?
A little dickie-birdie has told me that the NHSE has a 'committee'
looking at how to buy out GPs from cost-rent/notional rent so that we
can all be salaried and end independant contractor status. I wonder
where they will get the money from??
