Dr Lansley or Dr Pangloss?

In a little under five months, GP commissioning groups are supposed to take over the reins of most of the prodigious NHS budget £106 billion for 2011/12. If you have read previous entries, you know I like the real numbers:

So that's one and and six, thousand, thousand thousand pounds. £106,000,000,000. Even the Greek economy doesn't need that much (this time round).

Well, MrTaxpayer, how do you feel about handing over control of this much money to a complete load of amateurs?
