GPC - Turning the Tanker Can we? Sorry for cross-posting, but active discussions on EMIS and GP-UK list at the moment. There seems to be quite a number on both lists who think the proposed ballot is about as democratic as a fixed communist election. So, Fay & Trefor, how can we set about making our voices heard at the GPC? Who are the best peopl for us to e-mail and who will consider our e-mails and take action? What does this governement have to do to us before we take action? We have no rise in expenses for 3 years whilst costs escalate, and no sign of any payrise. We get numerous unilateral changes in the contract (can we unilaterally change it by the way?). Now we get this fiasco with Extended hours. How do we get the GPC to ask the grassroots GPs if they wish to reject option A with a view to re-negotiating the contract. If HMG then say no negotiations, then it is surely time for war. Recently on Radio 4 someone from the GPC wasted the whole segment arguing that they were in touch with and representing the GPs. Th interviewer at the time was implying that many GPs actually favoured the extended hours arrangement (GPC seemed to be arguing that we were opposed to the reccomendations and they were representing us with this view. Now we get news of the proposed ballot, and it would seem to me that they do not give a monkeys what our views are, and hence cannot possibly be representing us. So Fay & Trefor again I ask - how can we turn this tanker?
