So, the proposal seems to be to give hospitals more freedom and general practice less freedom.
Is that a coherent policy?

I am fed up of GP bashing. I am an Emergency Medicine doc and I see many patients sent in by GPs whose lives are saved by that action. I am starting a campaign. Let's all name and publicly thank and praise the last GP who did something for us. #GPHeroes

Great effort by the Torbay team. Good luck to everyone involved in delivering this and making it happen 👏

GP pet peeve: when the ED tells my patient to see a specialist and I 'have' to refer them
Many do not know what primary care is capable of: the resources we can use and the skills we have (or the hoops to go through).
A highly trained GP can do infinitely more than you realise.

Dear ED docs and GPs,both our workloads have altered with covid,both with processes and numbers .I don’t know any Docs who aren’t working their arses off. So please step back from the mud slinging ,it helps no-ones moral and doesn’t improve patient care . Kindness always 🙏
