How much !!! 40 Quid?Here, we find ourselves questioning whether we should go and spend 40 quid to go and see the GP about something, or hope that the ailment goes away on its own.
When did all that start?

I'm no expert on cost of attending a GP and healthcare in Oman, but I'm sure Ricky is - he pays the bills, and the only surprise is they're not more !Originally Posted by fred
If patients in the UK DID have to pay up front for attending their doctor and having treatment, they might realise the true cost of healthcare ( 10% of our GDP ). It's possible that might motivate them to better look after their health by their " lifestyle choices ".
However, it has to be said that increasing dental charges haven't helped dental health.
The majority of filipinos cannot afford the healthcare we take for granted in the UK ( despite the shortcomings of the NHS ) - one factor in their life expectancy being about a decade less than here in the UK.
It's just unfortunate that, as the GBD study showed - the last decade of life in the UK is lived in poor health for so many people, as a result of our " toxic " lifestyle. Not my judgement, just the facts.
