Bel is your little example something to be concerned about?

I apologise in advance for going off topic, but a prime example of this is their perceived lack of objection to my local NHS trust which has displayed posters in all the health centres for a “Fee Paying Podiatry Service” ;
http://www.solent.nhs.uk/ServiceCatInfo.asp?id=209
The bullet point which irks me the most on the poster is “Are you paying expensive fees?” Followed by the unrealistic advertised fees of treatment offered at £10.00. Private practitioners in Hampshire cannot compete with this and are closing shop as a direct result of this advertising campaign. Remind me again of why we pay our professional body fees?
As my time is split between the UK and the USA I find it difficult to keep up to date, but I believe the Society are not silent on this situation, it is however possibly the fore runner of the future of Podiatry.
I understand it is all to do with the proposed Health and Social Care Bill, and the introduction of Any Qualified Provider (AQP).
This is all very complicated perhaps someone with more knowledge than I have could elaborate.
