Nail, hammer, head..if people only knew how doctors have to waste their time going out to care homes for pointless annual checks to earn £80+ per person just to tick boxes and earn a few quid for their practices so that they can treat genuine illnesses and keep practice managers in jobs.... or how much time they waste fighting knock backs by hospital managers, 9-5 consultants and other associated pen pushers just to get someone seen by a specialist.... or dealing with screw ups made by hospitals who discharge people too early either without medication, with incorrect medication or without checking the circumstances of the discharged person..and keep within their government restricted timeframes and budget...funny how before (any politically coloured) government got involved, people used to be able to go to their doctors wait an hour, get seen and dealt with accordingly.
