It looks as if my GP colleagues in North Somerset are getting ready to rebel over the Government's ridiculous Choose and Book system, a vast and clunky bit of IT that requires doctors to go through the referral options for a patient at the point of referral. Options such as which hospital, waiting times, outcomes &c. Alll very well in theory, completely unworkable in practice, given our workload, and one that overlooks the fact that what we want is a decent local service, not the luxury of looking at the colour of the wallpaper in Aberdeen. It looks as if this is the last straw- or in this case, the last Hewitt.
