Actually Will, I ve been that man at meetings . I suspect I know who he was. The truth is that GP practices do and did win some of those tenders. Thats not to say that some PCTs would not have preferred another provider to come in. Some, eg in Barking have made a big difference to primary care in the area and actually made people healthier. Some thing not all of the old style GP practices did or do.

The Bill, however, is a mess.
