[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2215667, member: 430576"] Yep I think its all about the money and showing they have ticked the right box, not about what the patients actually needs. I was watching my blood pressure, no one else seemed bothered. In the end I ended up saying I need my BP checked, then its 'oh it is a bit high', that box is ticked and you get reviewed each year and medication, which is fine, but the GP, miserable Morag made out they had picked it up. I have just had an hour of my life wasted by a GP who I have never seen before, who told me I last saw you in October, wrong. He then went on to tell me the bigest load of rubbish, which I checked just to make sure when I got home, and yes it was wrong. I know there are good GP's, but I think they are no longer allowed to use their discretion in what the practice provides to patients and how they deliver it, so they are using time up reaching targets.
