  3. Langbaurgh Social Enterprise • Why a Social Enterprise (2) • Acceptable – patients, practices, staff, Government, all political parties, Department of Health, PCT • Patient benefit prime purpose (all practices could sign up to this) • High profile – Access national and local funding creating a foundation on which to build success • Stay in control. Not allowing profit to be the dominating factor. Practices contribute to the extent that they wish (a for profit company is bound to expect that practices earn their share of profits)
