They are very handy, stopped the abuse of A&E. Many were in town centres so they could have had a police presence and treated the drunks at the weekend.

Oh ffs.
That was a decent quick in and out service. No doubt too efficient for the govermin, and the doctors weren't getting paid enough as the nurses could handle all the easier stuff.

Another reason not to bother registering with them. Gonna die sometime anyway so ignorance is bliss, if not also painful.

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostWhat about the people who move away? People don't just come off a Dr's surgery when they die, and is the death register automated, how much would it cost to develop a system that hooks into it. The cost of printing some letters would seem inconsequential compared to a large scale IT integration like that.

Which I've ignored twice.
I was asked for a stool sample once. Never been allowed back in the woodworking class.
