I think you live under some considerable misapprehension – the notion that a GP is “busy” is …. errrr … counter-intuitive

most GPs are part-time, dont have weekend sessions, dont provide out-of-hours services and can invent a ‘special interest’ in some half baked practice-issue and get enhanced payments is salt-in-the-wound … most PCTs were so bereft of expertise at the time they just handed over barrow loads of dosh

most Practice Nurses do most of the stuff anyway

and HMG want to give GPs commissioning role over the strategic design of major health care schemes

over my dead body ! literally
