UK Supermarket surgeries

710ths

Proposals to introduce GP surgeries in supermarkets have been greeted with anger by medical professionals and opposition from some MPs.

Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt will be announcing next Monday that supermarkets could be encouraged to provide "one stop-shop" medical centres that even offer minor surgery at "convenient opening hours". (NTLWorld News)

Whatever next...baby delivery while your partner is getting the groceries in. Whist we may all find it hard at times to get to see a doctor, come on Tescos and Walmart your world dominance can not go this far.

Where are they going to find the doctors anyway. Will the check-out girls now have nurse uniforms?

This isn't such a mad idea, provided it was carried out in the right way. If you think about it they already have chemists and photo developing (as well as every other thing you can buy).

I think the idea is to make todays life easier for us busy no
o-time-to-do-this-and-that people. I imagine some people are not going to doctors surgery's because they cannot find the time, which of course could be detramental to their health.

Although I dont necessarily agree with supermarkets taking over the world, this may actually help the health of the nation...
