I work for the NHS and while GP's have a say on what happens there is a lot that can go wrong. communication for one thing. We are handing over a lot of our regular prescriptions to them in order to ease the work load but I can see a lot of things going wrong as any medications changed letters have to be written up and sent to the GP.

Staff shortages mean we have to cover other areas upto an hours travel from base. Staff taxis used to cover the travel costs because we are covering other areas out of our normal place of work. Now they want to stop that and we have to pay to travel and cover other areas out of our own pockets so if someone is off sick for 2 week and we have to travel 30 miles they get paid full sick pay and then we lose out of our pockets covering them.
