just heard andrew lansley on breakfast news saying NHS direct will end by 2013.

Thought you would be pleased :)

I have always found NHS direct very useful!

[ummmm]

I've always found it a heap of sh!te....

[Sqad]

bednobs....LOL.....yes, i saw that too....thank God.

It costs the taxpayer a fortune, staffed by amateurs and more than half of the advice is to go to your chemist or doctor.

People complain about askind AB about health questions, but i would rather throw my lot in with AB where you MIGHT get the response of a professional..............no chance of that on NHS Direct.

Well done to Lansley.

didn't use it often, but it was always useful. Unlike my doctor, who can only be seen a week later and is useless, though his Mercedes is nice.

[Sqad]

jno....don't blame the doctor as Labour brokered a deal for the doctors....less work and more money.

[jackthehat]

It seems that dangling a Mercedes in front of them made them forget their 'Oath to Apollo'.......

I know, Sqad. Still up to the doctor whether he sees me or not, however; and he prefers not to.
