When I started work in the NHS nearly 45 years ago the most important people were the senior experienced doctors who were in the position to fight the regional health authorities for monies etc and their interests were their patients. These days the whole thing is administered by bodies such as NHS England which are remote and "pen pushers" and patients are thought of as commodities and not the people or patients with individual needs. The whole balance has swung in the wrong direction.<br />The people at NHS England probably are unable to realise the difference between organising and running an NHS service and organising a string of supermarket branches and equate patients with packs of frozen peas or fish fingers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-65024191196206172122016-08-17T22:54:29.168+01:002016-08-17T22:54:29.168+01:00This same thing has also happened to the Harness W...This same thing has also happened to the Harness Wembley practice in Chaplin Road and despite letters to NHS England (London region) there have been no replies.<br /><br />The walk-in centre based in the same premises now look in danger of being closed down because of the change of provider and the Brent CCG standard response is an automated response saying it will reply in 20 days' time - so perhaps marginally better than NHSE London then.Nan.noreply@blogger.com
