I keep seeing the government saying that a patient can see their doctor 8am till 8pm seven days a week !!!, that is an impossibility, no young just qualified doctor is going to sign a contract that says this, some people say that a GP has it all to easy!, I know mine works very hard is always understanding and is accessible, unless you a seriously ill why would you need to see your doctor on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon?, some say they are at work, but then I have to ask why do you expect your doctor to bend his working week to accommodate you, would it not be better that you select a GP that suits your needs rather than expect GP's to have to change their working week to suit you!!, reality says that we have a massive shortage of GP's young doctors do not want to do such a job, I know of surgeries that are short of one if not more GP's with no hope of replacing the vacancy, many are under so much pressure that they are retiring early to escape the system, and I for one do not blame them at all, so in reality a shortage of doctors is a reality so how can they increase the work load on the ones that are left, to make things worse those that are close to retiring might just go even earlier then what??. I also notice that at one point it was thrown about that we should pay £10 a visit, well now some bright spark is suggesting £30 a visit, the world has gone mad!!!.
