Re: News topic re doctor's appointments and targets

I don't visit the doctor very often.......and I am at Peel House. I was quite ill at the end of last year with a severe Kidney infection.....I have to say that I couldn't hear what was going on in the consulting room.

The current situation with appointments was instigated politically......and Doctors are penalised if they do not meet the target set for them by THIS government. Targets are particularly unhelpful to folk like you and me.......we are not tins of beans or a marketable commodity.
If you do not like the system then choose carefully where you put that X on Thursday.

Lettie is right about the training that Nurses receive........and about the hard working Doctors at P.H.
