Day Seven

The misery for our luckless contestants continues.


Morning session.

Today we play Family Fortunes NHS style

We asked 100 GPs what they thought of the Health Secretary.

Contestants have to find the most popular replies..

Clue. Most will only have four letters

Afternoon Session.

Task One

Formulate a response to the Governments proposal to remove GP practice boundaries.

Points will be awarded for any inclusion of the following phrases. "Ill-conceived", "half-baked", "what moron thought...", "how the hell do we cover and provide services across PCT boundaries", "how do I visit someone in Barnsley when I work in Stockport you prat", "unworkable bollocks", "even this pig's arse of an idea won't get you re-elected".

Task Two

Write a nice letter to Professor Steve Field, pointing out that being a former (pretty unimpressive) President of the Royal College Of General Practitioners, does not actually make him an acceptable default voice for the Profession. Replies will be expected to point out that a) he wasn't asked to do it by any of us b) He's talking total rubbish c) he's not helping at all, and d) if he's doing all this to ensure he appears in the honours list, it will be for services to the Conservative Party, not services to medicine.
