I seem to remember being able to call out our local GP in the middle of the night back then, and he&#39;d arrive within the hour. Now it&#39;s an automated service and, if you&#39;re lucky, an actual person phones you back three hours later.<br /><br />I&#39;ve no doubt that the front line staff work every bit as hard as they have always done, but I simply don&#39;t feel that we&#39;re seeing benefits in line with the added investment.
