It’s been a fascinating week at the Black Tower
while the schools are off.
The few remaining skeletal staff are huddling around the
photocopier to keep warm. Senior colleagues are getting news that they have
been given interview dates for jobs that are not real jobs, in organisations
that are not real organisations.
Our
local GP consortia are beginning to shape up. The PBC groups that form the grit
in the oyster around which the pearl of GP commissioning will form are starting
to look beyond the old ways, the ‘them and us’ style of the PCT era.
I
went to a Directors of Commissioning and Directors of Finance meeting the other
day. I was, of course, the only medic there and was purely used as a source of
reference for the DoCs and DoFs.
