As I have said in previous blogs the practice is very busy and the waiting time has just got too long.I have no option but to do something about this.My responsibility is primarily to my existing patients and their interests.The action I have taken is that from tomorrow 16/10/2008 we will not be accepting any new NHS patients.
I will continue my commitment to the NHS.There is only so much one person can do and to maintain my standards and obligation to the patients of the practice I have no other choice.I hope you understand and the care of existing patients should be not be impaired in any way.If anything I should be able to reduce the waiting time and this aspect should improve.
thankyou.
