I am glad to see I am not totally alone with my fears over what may be happening to our healthcare

I am on the 38 degrees mailing list and have just received this.

Plans to cap the number of times we are allowed to visit our GP. - All a bit worrying when so many are now being referred back to their GP's

There is another petition to sign IF you agree. secure.38degrees.org.uk/pag...

PS: Here’s what the chair of the Royal College of GPs said about these proposals: “This was obviously written by someone who has never been unwell, or has never met people who work in the health service." Let’s not let the idea get any further – please sign the petition now: secure.38degrees.org.uk/pag...
