Looks like the being on the inside to shape the future is really working out.....we seem to be in the last throws of Divide and rule.... not sure where the profession goes from here and what sort of profession will actually be left once the dust settles. Our lack of solidarity across the profession is coming home to roost. Most of these issues were well documented as major problems with the governments proposed changes but like lemmings we have opted to get involved as the least worst option....or is it?

partner Vs Salaried divide that has already occurred.

the reality is that the position of partnerships now are so weak that even if they made a stand and said that they are not going to sign up to these aspects of the CCG decisions, they would be sidelined and a private company would come in and fill that role using a salaried GP that they had recruited. There is no point in making a stand as it will only fail.

We were told that the salaried GP's were a product of market forces. now unfortunately I think that private companies taking over are also a product of market forces.

I do hope that the situation changes.

- anonymous salaried!
