Okay- lets suppose you live in England. Call me Dave and his band of merry men plan to make your hard worked GP take on even more work- running the NHS. Now call me naive, but while there are good practitioners out there who know all there is to know about specific needs eg MRI scans; new super drugs etc, should they have a lot of work dumped on them without adequate training?

My brother in law - the Tory MP has actually come up against a rock and a hard place. He can't resist sounding off to all he meets and when he told his own NHS GP about how his government plan to turn his working life around, the GP promptly reminded him that one way of saving tax payers money was to refuse to prescribe non essential medication. Three guesses as to what it was.
