£25 patient charge for an appointment? http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/political/political-news/charge-up-to-25-for-a-gp-visit-says-influential-think-tank/20006337.article … @kingsfund_lib
.@pulsetoday Pay for GP appointments? Perhaps when I'm not already over-paying for them through my National Insurance @kingsfund_lib? Daft!

@C7RKY If GPs are overpaid (as salaried GPsor as partners?) why is it so hard to recruit partners? In some areas they cannot recruit! -
@bill_russell3 Didn't say GPs were overpaid Bill. Only that I've personally overpaid relative to my use. I think a lot gets 'lost' en route. -
@C7RKY Nope! Its a per head income per practice population. PS NI just goes into one big tax pot along with all the other taxes etc.. -
@bill_russell3 What are you saying 'nope' to? Not sure I follow. Regardless of where it goes, that's what the public are led to believe. -
@C7RKY 'No' to 'lost on route'. Not sure where its lost from? Partners get income from funds left after staff costs & other espenses -
@bill_russell3 Lost, as in NI paid by your registered patients, that doesn't quite seem manage to reach healthcare. Too many 'middle men'. -
@C7RKY As I tweeted earlier it is a common mistake to say that NI is hypothecated for NHS. It goes in the tax pot along with income tax etc -
@bill_russell3 Appreciated, but that's what NI is loosely associated with in the minds of the public. Whether it's actually that way, or not
