Government to scrap NHS Direct


Recommended Posts

My personal experience with NHS Direct has been when calling for advice with sick children.

Every time (3 or 4) they said someone would call back. Every time they had failed to do so within 30 to 40 minutes by which time we were on our way to The Childrens'.

 

Never bothered with them since.

 

Face to Face has always been the best option.

I meant really if you are registered with them.

My doctors has about seven doctors and a team of sisters and auxilliaries.

If you ring first you can alway see someone, bit of a wait, but if urgent straight in.

They still put the sick person first in West Yorks. :)

 

Apparently not, because they aren't bothering to use all available options, instead having everyone go to the same place whether or not it's the best place for them.
