Until recently if one had an emergency out if hours one coukd call Celkdic...who in our case can arrange so I could pick up emergency medication locally...my wife had brain surgery and has to have specific prescribed drugs...now you call 111..who send an email to your Pharmacy...where the pharmacist cannot dispense them....suggesting only that you go to a and e ...which last two times we went took 9.5 hours...and almost killed my wife with the anxiety....it seems a common practise now to shrug and pass the buck. And Dulwich Medical Centre itself is even worse a wall of unqualified people who can't help....from a surgery owned by a guy who earns a million quid a year...need I say more

"A wall of unqualified people who can't help"?


Would you care to expand on that, please?


Also, I have recently unfortunately had to go to A&E four times, and after triage they prioritise patients according to need.


If you have to wait a long time it is because there are more urgent cases.


If you don't like the long waiting times, blame the government for underfunding the NHS.


ETA: I have also had to call 111 several times recently, and I absolutely can't fault the service.


ETA: I think you should change the totally misleading subject of this thread.


ETA: And if somebody is making money out of running a surgery, then I suggest you blame the system which allows them to do that. You cannot blame somebody for taking advantage of it, surely.


I blame the Tories, but then I would.

Admin, are you able to change the title yourself if the OP doesn't or won't?


And move it to a more appropriate section of the forum?

      Any updates? - Sidings East Dulwich on the top of Railway rise

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      But actually, replacing council housing, or more accurately adding to housing stock and doing so via expanding council estates was precisely what we should have been doing, financed by selling off old housing stock. As the population grows adding to housing built by councils is surely the right thing to do, and financing it through sales is a good model, it's the one commercial house builders follow for instance. In the end the issue is about having the right volumes of the appropriate sort of housing to meet national needs. Thatcher stopped that by forbidding councils to use sales revenues to increase housing stock. That was the error.

      Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.

      Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves.

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By tropica · Posted

      I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof.
