charge for visiting nhs gp

[louiseb]

did anybody see the report last night on the news about being charged for visits to your gp.
unfortunatly I only heard the headline but didnt get to hear the whole news story.
it was on the local northern ireland news so maybe people in england wont have heard anything about it.

The McKinsey report includes recommendations which could see up to 10,000 jobs cut and patients charged for visits to the GP and stays in hospital.
