GP services 'face cuts catastrophe'

Hmm, these would be the same doctors who didn't say 'No, that's too much, we've got terrible illnesses to cure' when that prize buffoon Patricia Hewitt sanctioned a deal where GPs received a pay rise of 26% and dumped out of hours working.

And doctors had the cheek to threaten a strike over their pension! What kind of financial illiterate can't make provision for their own pension after earning a high salary for 30 odd years?

I don't see why taxpayers should fund a generous pension if doctors choose to spend their salaries on large houses and private schools for their offspring. All that money for £100k plus salaries for GPs has got to come from somewhere so pardon me if I regard concern for the welfare of patients as bogus or at best half-hearted.
