Tom,

I don't think you can generalise like that.

True there are a lot of lousy ones about but there are a few gems.

A big part of the problem is how the NH system operates, these funded practices are a disgrace. The whole idea of the system was to give treatment to those that need it.

Now we have accountants to whom doctors have to justify the cost of treatment.

When a child is suffering for weeks with severe headaches and doctors are reluctant to send her for a scan because of the cost of that scan, then the system has failed.
