People need to remember that your local friendly pharmacist can assist with most ailments & injurys. They can prescribe, advise & treat minor injuries. Too many people rush to A&E when the pharmacist should be their first port of call. People often phone for an ambulance under the belief that they will be seen faster in A&E.....WRONG!! The ambulance paramedics will triage your needs on route & will advise the staff of your emergency status so you may still wait hours before you even see a doctor!! If you dont need A&E, dont go. If you can have to go, can you make your own way there? Drive, get a lift or get a mini cab & leave the 999 big yellow taxis for those who really need them!!

Well, it would help if GPs actually saw patients now. It is shocking you have to wait 3 weeks for just a telephone consultation.

Will be helpful if GP can see you on an emergency appointments instead of send you a text like that "please attend A/E as there are no more appointments left" this is Hamilton practice Bush Fair. Who want to go to A&E really? And call 111 their refer you to you GP and finally GP have to face to face you, this a joke.

I would recommend people make a visit to the Hamstel Road entrance of PAH at 5pm any weekday and see the long line of ambulances waiting outside A&E. However, I would also suggest people recognise that the government needs to take drastic action, including paying the health workers a large increase.

The recent statement by the Labour Party's Shadow Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, will convince many NHS workers that waiting for a Labour government to sort out their pay and conditions is a forlorn hope. I expect the NHS will see even more resignations now they know the Labour Party are going to stab them in the back.

I don’t even think it’s down to people’s stupidity of going A&E when not needed anymore. It’s generally people’s last resort as GP’s are not doing their job and trying to diagnose over the phone it’s ridiculous…. Carers are still out there working and entering people’s homes so why can’t GP’s just allow for face to face visits and use PPE? Questionable I think
