One of the key reasons behind the Coalition Governments drive to close down Primary Care Trusts and force GP's to manage health care in the community is to force the GP's to sign up their back office facilities to a newly formed joint venture Company, between NHS Shared Services and Steria. John Neilson, Managing Director of NHS Services said "they (Doctors practices) would have to find huge savings to meet the Government’s £20bn savings target by 2014".
The new company intend to provide the back office services from INDIA, making an estimated initial saving to the NHS of £250 million by 2014, but what about the doctors staff, I hear you say, well they're to be given the boot of course.
