Healthy cut from GPs lists?

The new proposal would suggest that not all GPs practice that 'normal practice'.

Sadly a few bad apples in every basket.

daphnidill.Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Don't know about the shares but I do know that one of them does very well with his care homes and private clinic where he sends his NHS patients.
Why do you think this proposal has been put forward: because 'they' know it's happening.

Just wondering how a private company will know if a patient hasn't been seen at a surgery in the last 5 years. Where is this information coming from and what are this private company going to do with the names and addresses of all these people? I wonder how much this is going to cost the NHS.

The private company is Capita, who are 'asking' GPs for a list every year.

This all about "Freedom of Information" it costs Councils, NHS etc millions to administer. Many of the requests are from companies for commercial purposes. I did post information about this a while ago, as I know it costs the County Council my DD works for £1000's a year.
