NHS

I see that A&E units all over the country are being overwhelmed by silly people attending with what I can only call  silly problems, Accident & Emergency is literally just what it means, if you are not seriously ill been involved in a life threatening accident you do not need to attend A&E, a drop in centre or a minor injuries department is for you, please do not waste needed resource's at the hospital!!, you have a GP or of course 111 for advice, it is simple really, we have to be educated regarding A&E, I have been there in an emergency to see the place packed with people who without a doubt did not need to be there, and worse they get really stroppy with the staff when they are told that they do not need to be there, I think that it is time to charge for attendances at A&E if treatment is not required and you have effectively wasted the staffs time, but of course these same people who waste time will be up in arms if anyone should make them pay, we have a free service so lets keep it free for as long  as  we can, and these unthinking people who cause massive delays in A&E services should be educated and made to pay for their total disregard for the waste of money they are to us the tax payers.
