Day Six

Today we ask our contestants to get slightly philosophical.


Task One.

Get someone, anyone, somewhere or anywhere to explain who, in 2013, is going to own and run all the Primary Care buildings and maintain all the IM+T infrastructure. Points will be awarded if you manage to get any reply beyond. "Can we get back to you on that"

Task Two.

See if you can find someone, anyone, somewhere or anywhere, who thought that Darzi centres were a good idea anywhere outside London....if anyone can now get the Vascular Surgeon who was asked to design that Primary Care "strategy" to explain why it was a total balls up, mega points will be awarded...in fact we may actually let them out.

Task Three.

Elicit, if possible, whether "Father Ted" actually understands how General Practice works outside the rural bits of Southern England, which is apparently where his ex wife practices and upon which sometimes, he seems to have based his total understanding.

According to his web page "Andrew frequently visits hospitals and GPs across the country, listening to clinicians and NHS professionals and is well respected across the medical profession for his knowledge fo the NHS."......fascinating, because we don't seem to be hearing that from the BMA, the RCN, The MPU or the RCGP. They seem to think he's lost the plot.

Task Four.

Come up with a compelling reason why any GP over the age of 55 should not retire, right now. (Excluding of course, child support and alimony)
