Depends what he does.

The clue is in the 'GP'

[hyperD]

Being in charge of the BBC is hardly the same as being a GP; you're not going to get anyone from a private company with the experience needed at £80k.

You're absolutely right d000hg. Now if you don't mind, I need to concentrate as I think DimPrawn might have a big full.

I see your GP and raise you one Mark Thompson, BBC director general. Pot now stands at £834,000. Call or raise?

There are 1000's of GP's and many earning over £250K pa from the NHS via their companies on contracts.

Disgusting money grabbing contractors they are.

Say if he is a brain surgeon he'd get a lot of work on here.

Au contraire, he'd have little to work with.

[DimPrawn]

Fair play to him. It's not like he's turning up with a highlighter pen and a copy of 'biztalk for dummies' for £600 a day is it.

Oi!

Fair play to "entrepreneurs" like that.

The biggest beneficiaries tend to be doctors who own more than one practice and who have been able to hoover up patients and payments, often by employing their own teams of salaried doctors.



So the guy runs multiple businesses employing highly qualified and no doubt expensive people.

Anger over £665,000 for Britain¿s highest-paid GP | Mail Online

Britain's highest-paid GP earned a staggering £665,000 last year from the NHS.

The annual gross earnings, the highest-ever disclosed, are on top of more than £2 million the GP earned over the previous four financial years.

The earnings were revealed by the Heart of Birmingham Teaching Primary Care Trust, but they refused to identify the GP, who runs two practices in the city.


And we have a deficit? How can this be?
