Can GPs be effective commissioners?
See front page.I have heard today that very experienced and knowledgable children's health practitioners at the Heart of Hounslow will lose their jobs. It concerns me greatly that this specialist knowledge will be lost. I have a great deal of respect for my GP but with regards to the health needs of my disabled son he just does not have the kind of knowledge we've had access to at Bath Road for the past 16 years. My GP does not see my son from one year to the next. How will GPs be able to commission services for disabled people if they have no idea what the needs are?
