It's safer to phone then be stuck in the waiting room with a whole bunch of people, greater chance of catching or passing on covid. I personally am glad that they are protecting staff & patients.

As the weather worsens the queues outside will (particularly for those visiting because they are unwell) become intolerable. Public transport is unreliable, so (as appointments missed by over 10 minutes are abandoned) people tend to arrive early to avoid arriving too late. The few chairs left in the 'waiting room' are well separated, - those huddling together in the open porch are anything but social distancing (albeit with a brisk breeze to ventilate them). I paid my taxes so that the NHS could protect me, rather than the reverse. True, those with appointments may be let in (after being temperature scanned, as if only Covid caused raised temperatures) but really! 'Keep the ill away, or at least out in the open', is not the mantra of a modern health care system. A mind set which treats all patients as the modern equivalent of medieval lepers, with a 'squint' to keep them away from the staff inside is frankly wrong. And isn't replicated at every surgery or clinic by any means.

Reported in the newspapers today, Javid to tear up social distancing in surgeries to give thousands more face to face appointments. Already at Kings College Hospital the restrictions are being eased to make access and exiting much easier.

X ray service there yesterday was super efficient and excellent.

Had to go back yesterday for check up I asked why are the doors locked but was ignored just don't understand it we go everywhere else and anyone with COVID symptoms wouldn't be there

Maybe they short staffed like the lady said cold weather coming last thing you need is everyone in door way

    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet £100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
