No I think it is a bad idea. As I said GP's cant even sort out there own appointments.

Recently a GP ignored me when I asked for my daughter to be referred to see an ENT consultant. After a long discussion on the phone with my wife where he said I never asked for a referral she was referred.

The consultant said it was right to refer her and she will be have a procedure soon.

The NHS is not a money making business and it cant be. It can be run a lot more efficiently though.

Little things they do are wrong. They blame the majority of hospital aquired infections on visitors yet they allow staff to go to work and go home in there uniforms. How is this different than visitors? Are these staff washing there uniforms correctly to kill bacteria/virus picked up at work even?

You have to get the little things right as well as the big ones.
