Robbing Doctor Peter...

To shore up the shortfall of politician Paul...
Health Secretary Alan Johnson is writing to every GP in England urging them to accept the government's plans for extended surgery opening hours. He hopes to persuade them to back a deal on evening and weekend opening.
I'm not sure why the government is going through the pretense of "asking" for agreement here.
The government has said it will impose a settlement if agreement cannot be reached with the doctors' union, the British Medical Association.
The slow death of free enterprise.

It's frightening.
