I agree with most of what's been said. I think part of the problem exists because there seems to be conflict in defining what constitutes "treatment time". One school of thought seems to be that whilever the patient is present and "doing something" they are undergoing treatment. Another seems to claim that treatment only exists where the physio is directly interacting with the patient. In the public system it can cause some conflict with statistical reporting and privately it can cause problems with treatment times either being seen as too long (eg: the rehab style of treatment) or too short (ie: having 10 min Rx and electrotherapy the rest).

It seems there's no easy answer, but I would agree a united front is what's needed in order to move to resolve it.
