Doctors know best, but we shouldn't have to be pushy to get proper treatment Doctors should automatically inform NHS patients about their best options, without what amounts to stressful patient-medic haggling http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/26/nhs-doctors-know-best-not-patients

Could you be charged up to £25 just to see your GP? Doctors to vote on making patients pay for appointments The fee would be the first since the NHS was founded in 1948 Missed appointments cost the NHS £160million a year One GP said a morning's work was lost when 14 failed to turn up It is feared however that charging would stop patients seeking help http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2621886/GPs-vote-charging-patients-10-25-appointment.html#ixzz310vtHblx

Two-week wait to see a GP will become the norm by next year, doctors warn 40% of GPs say average wait for an appointment will be two weeks by April A fifth already say their patients have to wait more than two weeks Trend is being blamed on falling funding and increasing workloads Increase in workload is being blamed on a growing numbers of pensioners http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2634812/Two-week-wait-GP-norm-doctors-warn.html#ixzz32QgpSymw

Re: GP's (18th Jun 14 at 10:33am UTC)
A £10 charge to visit a GP would be just the start of a slippery slope for the NHS We can let our NHS be trashed by the privatisers and cutters or we can defend a properly funded, publicly run, universal system that is free at the point of use http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/18/10-charge-to-visit-gp-nhs
