Re: what is a GP?

In England (and maybe Wales). In Scotland its possible to get an appointment within a few days. My partner can even manage to get same day appointments if she phones at 9am and when those aren't available the GP will phone her back later that day to decide if she needs an appointment or just a prescription.
You really should try voting in politicians who will fund the NHS instead of the Tories.
