I don't see why for a small charge you can't have them posted out to the addressed registered with your GP

And I totally agree with the sentiment that the government proposals for reform are madness. Reform does need to be made, but the problem I have is that I consider GPs to be the WORST bit of the NHS. They act as gate keepers to the services you need. You get a crap GP, no treatment for you!

Mine and Mrs D's recent experiences with our local surgery has been one of contradicting advice amongst their own GPs, them prescribing treatment whilst admitting they didn't really know much about this sort of thing, we caught them looking things up on wikipedia whilst we were talking to them, and then having to talk to a nurse about test results rather than someone better qualified.

Whilst the NHS had all the experts we needed to talk to we ended up having to go through private medical insurance to access them. Madness.
