Last night it was about the difficulty on obtaining a Doctor's appointment.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, I was asking what other topics have been discussed during the Bradford project.

I know my link gave some details of presenters and programmes that were due to include contributions but it doesn't say what the contributions would cover.

Corby, on AOG's link, at the top gives some of the subjects to be discussed.

Isn't that the normal job of a home visit doctor, if one is unable to attend their surgery?

ANOTHEOLDGIT, I think FRASER is talking about a disability assessment in connexion with benefit entitlement.

These are normally carried out at a centre but a claimant can be assessed at home when it is agreed that is appropriate.
