NHS claims 1 000 000 employees.
It may be a little confused there in that GPs are not employees,
mostly, this year, and neither are their staff, but I suspect are
rolled in.  Never mind.

There are 30 000-40 000 GPs, in 10 000 Pracitces, plus a load of
individuals who are locums.
Each GP has about 2 whole time equivalnet staff, most of whom are say
half time.

OTOH, maybe one has a key for the practice, and one for the hospital,
and one for the HA etc.

Entrust and various companies are interested, Baltimore seemed flavour
of the month a while back, but their stock has fallen for reasons I
don't understand in detail.  Too much to hope it was because of the
reception their report on NHS crypto got from the BMA; GPs and others
here.
