Verbatim
“Each individual request may be small, but every request still requires someone to read it, assess it and respond appropriately.”
“It's creating quite a lot of admin in terms of chasing payments. One practice manager said that you send an email to query a payment and you might not get a response for six weeks. This diverts their attention from patient safety and other core priorities of the practice.”
