He is being used by the government so that the public is duped into thinking that doctors are in favour of their plans. The plans are heavily veiled so it is difficult for those outside the NHS to understand what the intention is. The intention is privatisation of general practice. To do this the government has to break the affection that patients have for their GPs. The government argument is that you don't want your GP to be like an old-fashioned grocer whom you know; you want your GP to be like a modern supermarket. Drop into Asda and see any old MacDoctor who will have your records online so that a personal relationship is not needed and who will receive a fee each time you drop in. Now is that what the voting public wants? I think not. But do they know that that is what is happening?
