Poor Mary - She had a mere 8 years to implement this at Dept of Enterprise. But you're right - her current role has little to do with doctors....Pity not all politicians are of the calibre of Mary Harney. She wouldn't have taken the matter lying down, if she was still the Minister in charge for that area.
How would this work - A fixed price for a 10 minute consultation? You won't mind the Doc kicking off the stop-clock as soon as the patient comes in the door then? Will we all be rushing to get our BP checked before the 10 minutes is up? Will those suffering from depression have to pour out all their woes in 10 minutes?
For a start, the fact that consultations are almost certainly a matter of minutes, not hours. Are you proposing a per-minute fee?What is so different from any other service provider?
Hi Noel - The great advantage of AAM over the usual media reports is the ability to drill into greater detail and go beyond the bland platitudes usually issued in press releases from all parties. Are you just going to ignore the possible downsides of these approaches which I mentioned above or can we have a sensible discussion and see if we can find some solutions?I think that about sums it up.
