Now I am no medical expert but as I understand it, blood samples taken for certain things can't be just stored overnight in a fridge because it skews the cholestrol measure so that will mean another daytime trip to see someone.
Another Cameroonian sound bite that's not been thought through. |
Presumably the doctors will also want a salary increase if they do this?
It's only a few years since the Labour Government gave them a 30% rise at the same time as they agreed to let them stop evening and weekend cover.
Result- out of hours you drive miles to see a doctor who doesn't have your info and doesn't really care or you wait 4 hours in A&E.
Hard life being a GP- when will they have time to spend all that money?
