[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 894715, member: 22426"] I wouldn't have said it was more cutbacks, just good time management on the surgery's part. I'm registered with a GP, but also under the care of a hospital diabetologist. As I'm Type 1, the diabetologist is much better equipped than my surgery to care for me and my diabetes, as the surgery may only have a handful of Type 1s and hundreds of Type 2s. The GP will also get paid for certain tests and checks, such as micro albumin and possibly HbA1C. The former is useful for me and should be done at least once every 12 months (NIHCE guidelines), whereas the latter - although expected on a regular basis - is useless on me (always gives a false low reading.) So, the GP would be further out of his depth on that. So, as I say, good time management and picking up the patients that need/want the care from the GP. That's just a personal viewpoint though.
