Consumer affairs with Winifred Robinson. A survey of 350 GPs is claiming that up to one in four has an investment with a private provider of NHS services in their local area. There is concern, that in the light of the Government's commissioning plans for the health service, this could lead to a conflict of interest. Since the 1970s, people have talked about the imminent arrival of the paperless office , but it appears to have remained tantalisingly out of reach for all but a few progressive firms. Despite growing environmental awareness, we still get through 700,000 tonnes of cut-size paper a year in the UK, so is the paperless office just a futurist's dream?
