PB – 2:35:58 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9358)
“Clearly we’re discussing, ultimately, a failed practice… …so that really does make it rather difficult to go along with these recommendations at the moment.”

EK – 2:38:40 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9520)
“… should there be continued clinical staff wanting to go and work in an independent model rather than remain in a 2c…”

PB – 2:39:30 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9570)
“So you’ve asked the doctors if they want to go for an independent model?  I’m getting a bit confused here.”

EK – 2:39:37 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9577)
“No, no, no.  The Old Aberdeen Medical Practice – some of the doctors have chosen to leave the practice and go and work in an independent practice.”

PB – 2:39:49 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9589)
“Right.  So they don’t like a 2c model – current 2c model?”

EK – 2:39:57 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9597)
“I can’t comment if that’s their stance, but all I can say is that “A few of the GPs in Old Aberdeen have left and are going to work in an independent practice”, therefore we have business continuity planning…”

PB – 2:40:26 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9625)
“Okay, well that really is quite important, that comment you just made Emma, in that the 2c practices clearly need to be remodelled, don’t they?  Clearly.”

SD – 2:40:36 (https://youtu.be/rh3WjTuefyY?t=9636)
“I think what the Old Aberdeen experience is showing is that there is a serious issue of sustainability. <Cllr Duncan Laughs>”
