Still be in the negotiating chamber? Fay, they have just dictated their own
terms.
"As long as you chaps can swing your members to "vote" for our unilateral
imposition, you will be welcome back to the table with open arms"
There are no bleedin' negotiations. This is an EX-negotiation. If it wasn't
still nailed to the perch ...

Gillian is no longer a GPC member as her work-life balance did not permit
it. I'm sure she means that if there is an A vote the GPC will still be in
the negotiating chamber and therefore in a better position to negotiate on
behalf of GPs. I would like to see some sign of negotiating gains coming
forward before I had much comfort in that idea.
Anyway James, be consoled: the deal in NI is different with £2 million for
something that is not extended hours (not sure what it is, you will have to
ask your reps) as your administration don't have extended hours as one of
their priorities. So GOK what your option A is. I bet it is contingent on a
pan UK A vote though. You know how these things are.
