I've never encountered a queue for any urgent care. Last time I made a GP appointment I did have to wait until the afternoon though.
But you're right, just pay £40 a month and get bupa if you want faster care for non urgent cases.
- bullianbp 5y agoDid I say urgent care? The existence of NHS waiting lists is a well telegraphed problem. Typically these are for medically necessary procedures which are not critical (in the sense that catching cancer fast is critical) but which when delayed cause long periods of deterioration and reduced quality of life.
- iso1631 5y agoDo you have a specific example?
- bullianbp 5y agoYou live in the UK and use the NHS and you're not aware of the issue of waiting lists for operations and other procedures? It's been a highly talked about political issue for at least the last 40 years.
- iso1631 5y agoI haven't had any issues with particularly long waiting times when I've needed the NHS. Indeed the one time I've used american healthcare I was waiting far longer than I was in the UK, but that was for an acute problem.
- bullianbp 5y agoClearly if you have not personally experienced something it doesn't exist.
- lmm 5y agoIt's a popular talking point in the Murdoch media, sure. That doesn't mean it's an issue in reality.
