We do not go to the doctors unless we are very sick either. The check ups are a routine that our doctor's surgery carries out. A nurse does the checks and the doctor sees the results. The people who are taken off surely should have responded to the letter they were sent and if they did not they have only themselves to blame. I agree Margaret that some GPs could be claiming to have more patients than they actually have and that certainly wants stamping out.
