We have an option to book a GP appointments on the day, call at 8am and book... by 8:02am all spaces for the day are gone... no point going to book it in person as the "phone people" have a priority... and if I want to book a standard appointment - waiting time is around 10 days... how good is that if I have a sick child now, today?!? I am angry too :-(Agata Pokutyckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771885577683189168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-76107906698457854702015-02-08T12:01:15.112+00:002015-02-08T12:01:15.112+00:00This is terrible!

Most people I speak to would be happy to have an additional charge in their tax, say £10 a month, if it was used only for the NHS. Politicians should take notice of the fact that we love our NHS and we want it helped to be great again, even if it costs us a bit. I feel sorry for the staff who are left offering a lower level of care than they would like too, but no alternative.

My friend is a child psychologist and she's had to leave to set up a private practice - the conditions she was expected to work in were unsafe, as she had far too many cases and not enough support/supervision, after the cuts. She was devastated to have to leave.Nell Heshramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276973022118632708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-81510942799898457732015-02-06T17:38:04.091+00:002015-02-06T17:38:04.091+00:00it sounds like such a constant battle hopefully on...it sounds like such a constant battle hopefully one day there will be families who get the help they deserve without the stressful struggles , things certainly need to change, best of luck xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511738712487629088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-72682283668889454662015-02-06T14:02:50.974+00:002015-02-06T14:02:50.974+00:00That's so bad that your son's details got ...That's so bad that your son's details got merged with another child....good luck with your ongoing fight.

We have experienced it from both sides, our oldest daughter has autism and we have had no support or help medically. My other half works as a paramedic and daily sees such minor call out's (can you believe someone would dial 999 because they didn't want to give Calpol to their 2 year old!) and this seems to suck so much time away from genuine calls. This is indicative of the NHS I think, while we have doctor's available who (if you are lucky) will listen to your concerns and take action, the doctors, nurses, and paramedics are overstretched and doing 14+ hour shifts - it is so hard to work efficiently sustaining this! Something does need to change as the service has lost it's caring nature, for it's staff and it's patients.

We've re-donned our boxing gloves after retiring them last year as our local once again needs 7 bells knocked out of it to get them to pay even the tiniest bit of attention to our "child in need". So, whichever you choose, darkened room or NHS battle, know I'm right there by your side! RxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
