[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1487915, member: 245335"] It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. If you look at what's expected of the NHS, foot care is very low down their priorities. Whenever I sit in my GP's surgery and look at the number of missed appointments and the cost of those missed appointments I wonder how much more money we could put back into the system by making people pay for those missed appointments. In New Zealand I believe people who play sport take out insurance in case of injury another cost we could easily recoup in the UK. Motor vehicle accidents, many years ago I was charged for an A&E visit after a RTA, I wonder how many hospitals follow that up when people just ignore the invoice, I think our insurance could easily cover that cost. It is certainly money well spent, the soles of my feet are like a baby's bottom and my toes are in good nick, thanks to regular visits (6 - 8 weeks). [/QUOTE]
