As a result, waiting rooms are somewhat empty. The problem with this idea is that the decision to treat has to be made on the spot by the people on the ground, not after weeks of form-filling overseen by some back-office function. Perhaps some version of that ROI system you mention, where a relatively small (but still off-putting to time-wasters) "excess" is paid for all visits might take some of the edge off, and could always be claimed back by the poorer users...?

He was the Heir Apparent - and got most of the constituencies votes. He's missed the boat - no wonder he is bitter with his brother stealing the ground from under him. He'll have to wait at least five years, and by that time his opportunity will have gone.
The Fat Controller	I'm sorry but Ed will have to start growing on me. David on the other hand I found rather appealing. But I believe the latter will eventually become the PM. Not the former.

Re - Red Ed - interesting to see that he now tries to distance himself from the Brown government (even though HE wrote the Brown government's manifesto !) Talk about principles (and the discarding of them when it suits) LOL !

My cousin works in a London A&E Department and tells me that the same faces are a regular feature on a Friday and a Saturday night. About 90% would fall into the self-inflicted group. In the Republic of Ireland (which has its own economic woes), a visit to the doctor costs about €60 plus medicine costs. As a result, waiting rooms are somewhat empty.
