Isn't there a better way of remunerating doctors other than just the absolute number of registered patients? Something that would take the probable workload and conditions into account?
Why should a doctor in Glasgow who's flock all grew up drinking from Highland Springs while chasing haggis through the glens have the same number of patients as a doc in Surrey looking after old folks who dodged traffic on the M25 to get to school every day?
Just a thought...
