I dont make sense? well unless you work for the NHS on the front lines then you wouldn't? I mean its ok for people to comment on the papers but people dont know jack unless you are there in the thick of it.

The GP's in my area of work dont like to deal with the patients if they can help it and always refer them back to our SHO's because they find the medications and health problems too complex.

I'm not saying GP's will help in certain areas but the work load for them will effect "general" people who need a doctors appointment and may miss the diagnosis.

Handing over control to them is going to cause more problems than not....If a bed is not available then it doesn't matter if its come from the GP or the consultant. This is down to the bed board.

We have suffered the back lash of cuts we deal with around 70 patients a day 6 days a week each patients costing the NHS around 50k a year. right down to cheaper equipment. patient care as fallen because paper work has increased its hard these days to do 1-1 care.
