Or just suck it up. Amazingly take dentistry get an appointment you get charged if you cancel if they cancel suck it up.

The NHS in the 6 counties is underfunded, and it is not going to improve much. In the 26 counties it is an honest proposition, we'll charge you unless you are in the poorer half of the population. In the 6 counties the proposition is that everything is free, but we won't see you anytime soon. 

This is the most realistic post on this thread.

Imagine if you couldn't afford the 100 quid?

Bet if everyone had to pay you could get an appointment anytime anywhere!

Not any lover of Tyrone, but it's very unfair a team having to play a big semi-final game just 6 days after a tight game. Def needs a 2 week breathing space between quarters and semi, plus a 2 week space to the qualifiers after the final for runners up

Absolutely. Scrap the group shite, 2 championships of 16 with a back door before the quarter finals or maybe just straight knockout be even better. Push the all ireland back to mid august.

When would the concerts happen though?

And they earn significantly more let's be honest, I was replying to Armagh18 saying it is fine for Doctors to take better pay, which is a fair point we all want the best pay, when I was trained I entered a contract 30 years ago that if I left with in 2 years I had to pay a percentage of the training and my job is so unimportant compared to the great work Doctors do. My point to Armagh18 was if all medical professionals did their degree got trained by the NHS to be as great as they are in their field just left for private work where us the morality for folk who paid their taxes all their lives but can't afford 75 quid a pop to see said professionals, seems a tad unfair.

Milkins could be out next.

No university course is free now, are you a doctor after a medical course or do you need advice, training and guidance via a paid private sector company or is that provided by say the NHS in the occupied 6?

My friends aunt was up from the South, needed to see a doctor, paid £75 quid to see one in a private clinic in Armagh ran by an ex Tyrones missus, the doctor she saw is the doctor I would see if I ever got an appointment!

That Doctor is in all likelihood taking those shifts because his or her practice can not give them any more shifts. Not the fault of the GP but the system.

I dont think so. Went part time (or just left) NHS to go into the private sector.

Couple of health centres in Derry are starting to offer the private consultations at £75 a pop. These appointments will only be outside the core hours, ie after 6pm as far as I know.

* huge amount of last minute cancellations / no shows
* staff members getting serious abuse. A woman working in one of the larger health centres in the town told me 4 admin staff left within a week of each other. They didn't have other jobs to go to at the time, just couldn't listen to any more dung
* dozens of prescriptions like 'brufen and paracetamol which cost a quid in the supermarket costing £40+ when got through a health centre
* repeat patients, and I'm talking of a lot of folk calling each and every day with different ailments
* queues for sick lines
* general levels of entitlement and abuse of the system

The above and many more issues aren't helping things

The abuse thing is disgusting but it's happening everywhere poor kids in retail, folk are tramps me me me.

Yeah f**k you jack I am OK.

You're putting the blame at the GPs door for taking on a legal practice activity? What moral obligation do they have to get f**ked by a broken system?

Successive Prime Ministers, Health Ministers drove the place into the ground. Some moral obligation to be the last violinist on the Titanic.

Did they pay privately to be trained?

You couldn't like the lad if you reared him the young pup who beat Williams beat Murphy last year, worth a flutter, though he's 6 months too old to beat Hendry as the youngest if he goes on.

Yeah f**k you jack I am OK.

Seeds dropping like flies Williams out, that's 6 out hopefully Allen makes it 7.

In a nutshell.

I had similar issue about a year later and made up symptoms to see a GP as if I had of mentioned chest pain they wouldn't have seen me, how ridiculous is that.
