General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Before Christmas I went to my local surgery to have me annual service and MOT which included checking my oil pressure etc

There was only me in the waiting room, waiting to see the practise nurse, but as I went to her room, I noticed that there were several doctors in the building, so it is as though they just want to see most folk on the phone, and only bring in folk for an appointment, who actually need to have a physical examination, it is not that they cannot give you an appointment, it is that they don't want to give you an appointment, in Tonkers case, with foreigners at the IBIS Hotel, telephone appointments are not practical, because the asylum seekers have to be medically accessed as new patients, and checked to see if they have diseases, and given blood tests at the surgery, because they would not be able to find or use a venue such has the Linacre Centre to have a blood test, and then there is the language barrier, face to face is going to be a lot better than a telephone appointment, if the patients cannot speak English.
