The Business Secretary, Vince Cable’s, speech on university reform can be found on the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills website.
It is always dangerous to take quotes out of context but I noticed this quite interesting bit.
‘Of course we must back internationally excellent research. But what we can’t afford is a system in which everybody tries to do everything – badly and at high cost. Research funding is already highly selective, and that is right. It will become more so.’

I have run conmumity ultrasound services in two GP health centres since 1996.These are excellent services backed up by audit on both clinical ouctomes and patient and GP satisfaction questionnaires.We have now been informed we must become AQP by 1/4/2012.There will be some benefits in doing this but this will also possibly increase prices if we go to a national tarriff.I have several concerns and would like to be able to discuss thse with some-one and as I have had 16 years experience doing this (think we were the first to do conmumity based ultrasounds) I feel I have much to contribute.

I am not sure I am the right person to discuss this with, but I am posting your comment in the hope that there is someone out there who would wish too.
