Supermarket GPs

I think (could be wrong on this) the idea was to allocate about £225 million over 5 years to 30 deprived areas (deprived as in crap access to health care). The fact that better, more accessable services could be provided by taking on part time GPs and nurses to work evenings and weekends seems to be getting ignored.

Personaly I think the gov are only doing this to try justify the NHS database. Access to health care at weekends etc in the UK already sucks big time and this is just another example of the gove doing a PR thing (sounds better than it realy is).Do you realy want the likes of Boots and ASDA having your medical records? Do you think it’s a good idea to encourage sick people to go to supermarkets?
