Hi Vilmos,


Can I suggest that if you experience problems getting a GP appointment that you speak to my colleagues in the NHS Southwark PALS Team (Patient Advice & Liaison) about that - they can get involved to help you get a more timely appointment, and the feedback about using local health services is used to improve services for the future.


You can email them at [email protected] or call 0800 587 7170 (weekdays 9.30 - 12.30 and 2-4pm).

Regards,

Keri Lewis

Penguin68: No, I didn't specify a doctor, I just asked for an appointment to see any doctor.


Health Involvement: I suppose I could complain but then I would be possibly jumping the queue over people who needed to see a doctor more than me, people in pain for instance, which I am not suffering. So I will patiently wait my turn.


I must say the NHS is looking more and more like wallpaper by the day. It looks the business but it is actually more of a threat to peoples' health than a help. The fact of the matter is there are just too many people today for it to cope and the template for a welfare state of the 1940s just doesn't fit today's needs, and I say that as someone who is approaching his three score years and ten.

    • Excited to welcome Banook to the neighbourhood. Love a good bagel.
    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
