People used to know how to deal with minor ailments and first aid. Now they just run to the doctors or A&E. No surprise that the NHS is buckling under the strain.

The major drive of NHS utilisation continues to be, by a mile, the elderly and an ageing population. Longer lives are not always healthier ones.
If 'Generation Snowflake' try to get emergency GP appointments for things like colds or grazed knees they generally get kicked back, or sent to a minor injuries unit. That's what receptionists are for, to police shorter term appointments.
