It is all too possible that £29 k is the correct figure. This is why I
keep falling over laughing whenever anyone suggests major new developments
in GP IT.

By and large, the HA's haven't got the message yet...

Question: Are FHSA/HA computer budgets dependant on the number of GPFH's?

After badgering our HA every month since April, they now claim the Region
has allocated them 29,000ukp for this financial year - for non-fund and for
GPFH's (maintenance costs for GPFHs are included in the management allowance) -
119 GPs in 30 plus practices.

Does this figure sound right? I thought, perhaps mistakenly that non-fund
and clinical GPFH computer reimbursement was via GMS and so funded
independantly of GPFH committment. Links is funded "separately" of course.
