Through experience Carol I would say that your alleged crooked doctors are the least of the problem.
My late father had to be virtually dying before he got his DLA.
He was a bevin boy during the war, he was around 18 years old at the time, working in the pit wrecked his back, he could barely walk long distances without terrible pain.
How he would have liked to have dropped a doctor a tenner hey?
On the other extreme, a guy I worked with suddenly decided he did not want to work any longer, he did not need a crooked doctor, he just created an alcohol dependancy problem.
Said he could not face the world without a 6 pack first, what employer would employ him?
So now he is claiming long term sickness benefits.
So yes the system needs looking at, but only getting £1 back for every £1. 50 spent? there is something really wrong there.
