BUPA Physiotherapy Tender Process

Interesting stats - different bias from the physio voice polls.
Having difficulty accessing this pol to regiter my response - how do you do it?
Seems to me that the demographic of who tendered does not register where the 'non tender' group are based, as if you didn't tender, you go straight to 'done'
As such I presume this is not a true reflective pole.
However, it is disapointing to see the proportion who tendered at or below the BUPA benchmark, and affectivly capitulated. Those voices have been very quiet on thsese sites - seems to me that there have been 2 voices - don't tender, or tender at your normal fees - seems that there's a whole group out there doing something else who should feel ashamed of themselves.

Good point. PhysioFirst really should make some comment when they present some stats. Without that stats are likely to be misread.

Well we all wait with baited breath for the outcome (audited?) of the big issue. Just as a small thought we were told at the start of all this exercise that Bupa intended to ask 6000 of the 13000 physios on their books to tender .Have I missed something ? who are the non tendering physios . Are Bupa waiting to see if they have enough physios to provide a Liddle type service or have they quietly already reinstated those they wish to use ?
Any thoughts?
