Following on from your predecessor will either turn out to be really easy, as you can\u2019t be as bad as all my teacher friends tell me he was, or will be very difficult if he has left everything in a bit of a mess for you. Good luck with that, but that isn\u2019t why I am writing to you.<\/p>\n<p>I would normally find myself writing to, cursing, or ridiculing your cabinet colleague, Jeremy. The reason being is that I am a GP. Not a very fashionable profession these days, especially as up to a third of training places are unfilled and many GPs plan to retire early, or emigrate, or retrain as plumbers. I\u2019m joking about the last one, although there is this scheme to assess patients\u2019 boilers. But I digress . . .\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The reason I am writing to you is to ask if you wouldn\u2019t mind opening my children\u2019s primary school on Saturdays and Sundays for routine education. Quite what routine education is, is anyone\u2019s guess, but I thought I would start bandying about that word too. You see, it would just be soooo convenient to have the school open on days that it seems I am expected to work, to provide routine care for my patients. Did you see what I did there?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t expect you will be able to pay the teachers any extra money, so I suggest that you simply unilaterally alter their contracts. About three months\u2019 notice should be sufficient. Alternatively, you sack a teacher or two, replace them with several teaching assistants of whatever educational standard you like, and then you would have more bodies on the ground to spread as thinly as you want. Simple really.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure that the prospect of working at the weekend will do wonders for your recruitment of the best graduates to do teaching courses. Who doesn\u2019t want to work at the weekend, providing care that can be given at any other time of the week? I\u2019m also sure that this exciting prospect will convince many of your more experienced workers to hang on in there just a little bit longer in the job that they love; to work that little bit harder for no extra pay instead of retiring early. They would be mad not to.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that when I have to work at the weekend (if I can\u2019t find anyone to do it for me), I\u2019ll be seeing the children who are my patients who couldn\u2019t possibly come to see me in my afternoon surgery, which runs from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Except, perhaps I won\u2019t, because they will be at weekend school. This hasn\u2019t really been well thought out, has it?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Samir Dawlatly<\/strong> is a GP partner at Jiggins Lane Surgery in Birmingham.
