There are many things we can be critical about regarding the NHS - doctors going on strike, waste, too many chiefs and not enough Indians, Wes Streeting and the Government.
But when you have about a million idiots a year turning up at A & E with minor ailments like coughs and hiccups (seriously), you have to wonder how much better the service would be if these people had just a modicum of common sense. |  | | |  |

Spot on John.
However, in some (not all) of these people’s defence trying to get a GP’s appointment is so difficult that they go to A&E instead, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
I believe GO surgeries should be under some sort of obligation to see someone on the day. Pre-COVID it was so much easier. Why has it changed? |  |

This , my local surgery ( ad I'm sure this is happening elsewhere) has only one doctor out of a r total of six named who is a physical presence the rest work from home on a rota system, no wonder no one can get an appointment and just when did it transpire that it now takes a month to have a blood test or a fortnight minimum to have a doctor call you back .
No wonder people have taken to visiting A&E for minor ailments but its got to the point thats all the choice thats left to them. | |

Root cause has to be being unable to see a GP on the day and start of an ailment .
Send us a photo and a GP will call you back when he has time , no positive set time and as I am well over retirement age sending a photo on my phone is a nightmare , sure many other oldies are in the same or worst situation .
Try not to visit A +E in Morriston unless I have limb decapitated , then a last necessary .
Have myself seen and know Nurses after their shift in tears of what they go through daily .
Get to the bottom of the issue as a starting point . | | | |

Charge anyone who turns up at A&E £50.
If the staff decide it is minor keep hold of it. Only refund it those who are Genuine Accident and Emergency cases.
£50 million a Year extra for the NHS. Watch the queues disappear.
Anything free will be abused by people who think they are entitled to it. | |

It doesn't help when medical staff are trying to treat people who can't speak or understand English and the health service have to source and pay for an interpreter.

I had personal experience of Police requiring interpreters after arrest
It’s quite lucrative | |

The British State should not be providing interpreters under any circumstances other than diplomatic. Down to the individual to supply their own. If they can't, tough shit. [Post edited 1 Jan 11:23]

As for the main crux of the thread, A&E is treated as a GP service by a lot of people. Some because they're complete idiots, others because their own GP's are useless.
I once got told I had a cold by a GP who couldn't be bothered to see me in person then spent much of the next six months on steroids dealing with the after effects of a serious chest infection, so you can understand why some people seek a second opinion. | |

The PC brigade and Human Rights lobby must and will be rubbing their hands with the incoming readies into their Bank Accounts , easy money from the cash cow which is our treasured and necessary NHS .
How has the UK got into mess we are in without any Political Party leader having the truth to say , enough is enough , lets not upset the minorities though .
Potential future voters are a lifeline for any Politician , vote for me please . | | | |
