I've become accustomed to hearing a pair of stories in close proximity:-
- - THere are economies of scale, everything must be done by bigger
organisations and teh small must be amalgamated to make the big;
- - {it} can be done cheaper in general practice than hospital ... setting
a lower fee.
I am not sure that I believe the first, but if it is true, payments to
GPs for the additional benefit the patient receives from proximity
should be larger than to hospitals or Trusts, for whatever value of {it}
one picks.
The other story recently was that singlehanded GPs are more profitable
than larger practices. I suspect this may be true. My partenrs are
jewels beyond price though, for a range of values of price at least.
