As a Citizen & Taxpayer. What is the Critereon, for obtaining Treatment, from the NHS.

The whole point of the NHS is that it provides healthcare regardless of one's tax status. There appears to be one criterion: citizenship (with some EU entitlements). It is my understanding that the entitlement is to register with a local GP, and access primary care, from which all the rest of the services including emergency will follow. Some people such as socially excluded minorities have more difficulty than others in obtaining that access and therefore it is incumbent upon services to consider ways to provide their services to these groups. This is especially important to protect and enhance life quality and incidentally would reduce cost to taxpayers of the repeated and increasingly expensive problems that are suffered downstream if these issues are not effectively addressed
So I have to ask someone. A GP. Who works for himself. if I can use the Service that we set up in 1948. And then submit to their Dictarorship as to what treatment I can have. Oh! And then beg them to Perscribe Medicines, as they operate another Dictaorship there as well. But I. And all the other Taxpayer Pay for all this, and these Looters, who don't work for Peanuts. Dictate What we will have, and when we can have it . It' time we took control, of what we own.
I agree that due to budget constraints gps tend to prescribe generic medication where possible (instead of branded one, say). But whether medication is necessary in the first place should still be assessed by someone with medical qualifications in the first place and then agreed with the patient. I'm not sure what you're looking for, free access to medication to everyone? That would be too extreme - think about how many side effects and contraindications each drug has, do you want to take full responsibility for researching and finding the right drug for what you think you have and then take it? I wouldn't want to - I wouldn't know where to start looking! It is my body but I don't know enough about it to be able to care for it on my own - that's why we need doctors.
I'm probably missing your point but what a good subject for debate.
