Could This Happen In Nhs?

My congratulations to these Polish entrepreneurs and i hope it continues to succeed.
This is my idea of health care where there is 24 hour GP cover in the NHS with a renegotiated GP contract. No home visits except in exceptional circumstances, GP 24 hour clinics attached to hospitals and more emphasis on the patient traveling to the doctor.
Unfortunately it will never happen in the UK.

It's a brilliant idea. My GP surgery is so frustrating. If you want an appointment, you have to ring at 8:30 or 14:00 only. If you can get through, you go straight into a queue and after waiting for 20 odd minutes, get told there are no free appointments. Try again tomorrow.
This happened for 3 days running when my 9 year old had asthma. They were aware he wasn't breathing normally. When I said I'd been waiting for three days, they found they were able to fit him in.
You really have to plan your illnesses carefully.

Naomi.......no, my suggestion is stupid....well actually not stupid but unacceptable in Socilaized medicine......."he who pays the piper deosn't call the tune"....the GP's and BMA pull the strings.
The 2004 contract offered to the GP's by the Labour Government was "unbelievable"
They could not believe it when GPs were given the chance not to do evening and weekend work for a 6% pay cut, he said.
Since the deal started in 2004, average GP pay has topped the £100,000 barrier.
If you were GP in the NHS would you want to change?.......not likely and neither will it change.

Where abroad? France's service is excellent, far better than ours.
My family use private medicine as and when. We have access to a private doctor in London. A visit doesn't cost much. For minor matters it's a quick,efficient, service; for serious matters, we'd use the NHS. I remember the daughter, then age about 10, had a mysterious skin rash, which the GP couldn't identify. He rang a specialist, we went straight round to him. He said that classic thing of skin specialists "It's not dangerous, it'll come and go, it's never going to be unsightly,just pinhead marks, and there's no cure; it's in the body for life". Whole thing cost about £100 or so.
That is what the NHS should be like; France's service is like that now.
