Swine Flu Vaccine Doctors Paid Fortune By British Taxpayer
GP practices across Greater Manchester were paid almost £1.2m for giving the swine flu jab, we can reveal today. Surgeries were paid £5.25 for every patient they vaccinated. Surgeries in Manchester got the highest amount, with £262,006 paid out to 95 different doctors’ practices. NHS Stockport paid out £168,000, while £154,889 was paid to surgeries by health bosses in Wigan. Salford spent £122,000, while Trafford paid out £120,503. NHS Oldham paid £100,254 and Tameside PCT spent £117,237. The PCTs charged with looking after Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale and Bury spent comparatively less, with totals of £67,053 and £66,370 respectively. NHS Bolton declined to supply figures for the amount it spent on swine flu vaccinations. GPs said the money was spent contacting patients, administering the vaccine and taking on extra staff. The British Medical Association – which represents ran k-and-file GPs – had initially demanded £7 per shot but the lower figure was agreed after a wrangle with minister. One Click Note: The doctors and nurses took this money whilst refusing to vaccinate themselves and their families on safety grounds as the evidence shows. Vomit.
