Actually the last time I checked (approx 2 years ago) they had over 60,000 patients (no I haven't typed an extra nought) and they're still accepting new ones, which is why they're unable to provide any kind of service to the patients...

60,000 hellosailor? I don't doubt you and that is shocking!


My daughter is away at university in her second year and has tried to access a doctor's appointment. I can't remember the last time she went to the doctor and so I know she is desperate. I've even offered to phone on behalf of her but she doesn't want me to.


Apparently they have an on-line booking system!


So daughter wouldn't be able to get an appointment until nearly two weeks away.

When I visit my Mum's in Market Harborough I can get an appointment at her local clinic without ANY problem on the day - I've had to do this a couple of times as well as using their walk-in local hospital service. Frankly it's quicker for me to get the train to Market Harborough and ask for an appointment than it is for me to get an appointment at 'my' doctors - DMC.

I had a minor operation earlier this week which was carried out at Kings College Hospital. The follow up was to have a dressing changed daily. I was offered an appointment for 25 Nov to change a dressing (yes a month later)! Now going to Peckham (Lister) to have this done. What's the point of having a medical centre with zero capacity? If the numbers stated earlier (60,000) are correct it's clear why this place is not fit for purpose...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
