[QUOTE="Klangley, post: 991456, member: 208425"] Three years ago I returned to the UK after spending 7 years living in Germany. There GPs wouldn't make a call on anything....everything was referred straight to a consultant who genuinely specialises in that field. I went in with a mole once and was given a referral 'just to be sure' and actually saw a consultant 2 days later. And that wasn't private...it was their equivalent of the NHS. I could always get a GP appointment the same day and the surgery was open Saturday mornings. It is true that if you did needed to see a doctor you did have to pay 10 euros, but that covered up to 3 months further consultations. Prescriptions also cost about what they cost in the UK. But their health services in my experience were fantastic. People in the UK have a generally high opinion of the NHS, sadly though it has not moved forward in line with some of the medical services in other EU Countries. [/QUOTE]
