[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 157377, member: 17713"] Not all of UK even gets the choice of hospitals currently being offered in England....living in Wales our GP surgery has only just started opening up later for 2 hrs 1 day aweek, I had this in UK at least 3 years ago where our GP surgery would open up late twice aweek, and open earlier 1 day a week. Have had to be referred to hospitals 5 times in 2.5 years since living here and have never been given a choice. Previously in England I was told to ring a number and they would go through the list of hospitals and their waiting list times..... Shame that the Welsh Assembly has control over health here. Our health service here is still in the 80's. I have sat in waiting at our local hospital to see the rheumatologist and there were 2 receptionist in the department with their mugs of coffee who couldn't look up to book patients in from their idle chat......not one single patient got given a good service. People with service like this give the public an awful impression of the NHS. I don't knock the NHS normally, but I do think it needs a shake up, but a lot of things are happening with PCT's going and being renamed etc....shame there are so many managers compared to medical staff. I think that we could all be in for a rocky path regarding PCT's and GP's managing budgets, can't get my head around a lot of it.....hope people on here will keep us up to date.... [/QUOTE]
