Well, I guess that Mr.Cameron is a bit busy right now, but I'm sure that if someone mentions this
PRS gang to him, perhaps he will add it to his (long) list of things to sort out. It certainly sounds like yet another
gouge to me. Here's my advice:- all hospitals should refuse to pay, but otherwise carry on as before! What are they going to do ... close down the whole NHS?
Otherwise, (in your case) what's £ 700 K divided by 15,000 staff members?
Meanwhile, I'm happy to say that where I work, not only do we all (supposedly) "sing from the same hymn-sheet", but also restrict ourselves to timeless favourites like "Onward Christian Soldiers". No royalities to pay there, as far as I am aware.
