Should GPs be paid more for working less?
Family doctors are receiving more pay for doing less work as a result of a new contract awarding pay increases of 58% while reducing working hours at a cost of £1.8bn to the taxpayer, according to complaints from MPs.
The system, based on bonuses paid for reaching performance targets, has reportedly resulted in an average pay increase of £100,000 a year for GPs. So why do these bright ideas always seem to fail so miserably? What would you do to give GPs an incentive to provide a good health service?

They need never meet a patient with modern technology, they can diagnose most conditions over the phone or internet, we could automate surgeries and have robodoc to do the examination...
