I read in the paper the other day that the NHS is asking GP's to take any patients off their books if they haven't been to the doc's for some time.
It is thought to be a 'cost cutting measure'  because GP surgeries are paid for each patient they have on their books.
Only thing is that the software used to carry out this 'cull'  can be over-zealous and many elderly patients have been kicked out of their surgery,  and  won't be able to book an appointment if they need one!

The article suggested that anyone who hasn't been to their GP for a while  (it didn't say how long), ought to check they are still on their surgery's books.


Here's a bit more:

The NHS is conducting routine "list cleansing" exercises across England to remove "ghost patients"—individuals who haven't been seen in a long time, moved away, or left the country. Patients who do not respond to letters or messages confirming their details risk being automatically deregistered .

Well I think its fishy.
They are up to something.
I hope  his Father's health is not worsening.

I might have to wear my bed sox tonight.   

Perhaps they've come back to get divorced ?  It would be much cheaper here !
OR They're skint
OR they're becoming isolated there, all their US friends have backed off.  I read Harry went on his own to the Super Bowl final, he didn't have a mate to take along.

Who knows, more importantly who cares !

Been wearing me thermal vest all day .

It's amazing how quick you can get used to the heat. Well me anyway. It's 24°C as I sit watching TV and it feels a bit bit chilly...

None here either if you discount the unforecast two or three spots while I was out.

The brass neck of some people. The people of this country are not too keen on them..
He/ she couldn't wait to run this country and the royals down... 
They are not popular in the US as they once were..
Queen Elizabeth 11 was respected and admired by many..

They know their bread is buttered living in this country near daddy..
Ghastly ,greedy people..
I hope nothing is taken out of my taxes to protect them..
