| UK Doctors Take Bribes To Push Swine Flu Vaccine On Patients | ||
One Click Note: It is simply outrageous and sickening that the Department of Health is bribing doctors in Britain to foist the untested Swine Flu vaccine on patients for considerable sums of money. These are the very same doctors and nurses who are refusing the Swine Flu vaccine for themselves and their families. See the PULSE article dated 4 November 2009 entitled GPs and practice staff on frontline turn down swine flu vaccine. Dr Liz Miller, a locum GP in London, said she would not recommend the vaccine to her patients because of safety concerns: ‘I do not intend to be vaccinated, nor will I recommend it to patients. It is untested and unnecessary. It’s time doctors started thinking for themselves instead of mindlessly obeying the Department of Health because they are terrified of missing out on free money.’ With the government having abdicated responsibility for the UK vaccination programme in favour of the JCVI Committee headed by Vaccines Basil (Professor David Salisbury, UK Vaccines Director), billions of taxpayer money has been spent on these vaccines that many millions don't want and that the Department of Health is desperate to shift. Doesn't the British healthcare system make you want to throw up?  10 Nov 09 GPs offered cash bonuses to hit swine flu uptake targets By Lilian Anekwe Exclusive: GPs at the centre of one of the summer’s swine flu hotspots have been offered bonuses worth thousands of pounds extra for hitting vaccination targets, Pulse can reveal. NHS managers in Birmingham are so worried about the prospect of a winter outbreak that they have offered practices up to 50% over and above the payments agreed between the GPC and NHS Employers if they vaccinate a high proportion of the population. The revelation came as Pulse learned the Department of Health has given PCTs the power to impose financial penalties on practices if they are forced to suspend routine work, raising fears GPs will be treated starkly differently by NHS managers during the outbreak depending on where they work. NHS Heart of Birmingham revealed a sliding scale of bonuses, on top of the £5.25 practices will get per vaccination of patients in target groups and the relaxation of QOF patient survey thresholds if they hit the DH’s uptake target of 50.7% in at-risk patients under 65 years. A spokesperson for the PCT said: ‘In recognition of the additional workload, the PCT will pay a high-coverage bonus.’ GPs will get a bonus of 10% even if they are 20% down on the Government target, and if they achieve more than 90% coverage the bonus will rise to 50%. Dr Robert Morley, executive secretary of Birmingham LMC and a GP in the city, said the extra payments were ‘welcome’. ‘We are asking every practice to give us information about the burden of work so that we can arrange payment if necessary.’ Pulse, however, has uncovered documents issued to PCTs by the DH, giving trusts the power to impose financial penalties for the ‘cessation or reduction of clinical services’. PCTs are also being encouraged to visit practices unannounced to check that the workload pressures or staff absences given as reasons for suspension of services are genuine and ‘to validate them at any time during or after a period of service suspension’. The new guidance documents – distributed to PCTs by NHS Primary Care Contracting, a policy-implementation body acting on behalf of the DH – fly in the face of Government guidance issued to PCTs in August. That document, Pandemic Flu: Planning and Responding to Primary Care Capacity Challenges, encouraged trusts to pay practices that were forced to provide cover for neighbouring practices under buddying-up arrangements up to £1,250 per 1,000 patients and advised that ‘the PCT should not take any action to recover monies paid during the period the practice is closed’. A DH spokesperson said: ‘It is only right PCTs and GPs are well prepared for all circumstances.’ Swine flu cases in England rose by 8%, from 78,000 to 84,000, last week. GPs have begun the task of vaccinating those in at-risk categories. Last week, amid calls from the Conservatives, the Government announced it planned to extend the vaccination programme to children aged between five and 16. ************* Related Links: * Doctors, Healthcare Workers And Patients Refusing Swine Flu Vaccine In Britain Nigel Praities, PULSE * GPs to get bigger bonuses if they meet swine flu jab targets Daniel Martin, Daily Mail * Poland Prime Minister Slams Drug Companies Over Swine Flu Vaccine JAVNO * Italian Physicians Refuse Swine Flu Vaccine For Patients PRESS TV * American Doctors Rejecting Swine Flu Vaccine And Spray Rob Stein & Michael Laris, The Washington Post ************* |
