If so that will help my own Trust meet the CPA targets it stunningly misses at the moment - they can just decide over half the people currently on CPA no longer need it. Brilliant. It's all about meeting government targets, after all - nothing to do with patients' needs.<BR/><BR/>I agree with your assessment, Jobbing doctor!Disillusionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250678226289036634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-16252604418398619152008-04-23T16:46:00.000+01:002008-04-23T16:46:00.000+01:00No. You're missing nothing.
