I think I have got the bug. I have been feeling pretty Yucky since Thursday night and feel mega Yuck by tonight. A few packets of "all in one" capsules and a few bottles of cough mixture haven't managed to kill the bugs yet.

I would go and see the doctor but by the time you get the appointment you have normally cured yourself. If you do manage to get an appointment and get to the surgery feeling ill by the time your turn comes you will be too tired and fed up to complain or you've forgotten what you wanted to tell him.

If you are unwell and want the doctor's opinion but still want to go to work or you are self-employed and you have to work then you have had it. Your time does not matter. You will just fit in with the doctor and wait as he is a busy important person.

I am very pleased that a pilot scheme to tackle poor access to primary care has been planned. The scheme will include a walk-in service, breakfast and tea-time surgeries.

Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt declared that these new pilots are great news for people living in some of the most deprived and under doctored areas in the country.
Further proposals for improving care outside of hospitals will be included in a White Paper to be published in the autumn.

It is a great news for everyone not only for people living in the deprived are. But wait a minute. Did I not see this news a year ago? Well may be by next year the scheme will start, at least we are talking about it, what more do you want?
