Your leaders (of which I am supposedly one) have been trying, God have we been trying. The Government spin and the media chattering classes are not interested. I spoke to the Guardian health correspondent yesterday and told her all about the actual facts relating to this story. I was not quoted and they did not use any of the information I or the BMA provided. The media write what they want. -----Original Message----- From: GP-UK [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Bromley Sent: 01 November 2007 23:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Doctor, doctor One can only hope that our leaders shoot this story down with the facts that we have had a zero pay-rise this year whilst we have had to fund staff increases out of our own pcokets. I don't suppose that this will be printed though.
