General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

some good ideas broady,what of GP,S prescribing over the counter remedies ie painkillers ,a chap i know says his wife gets free toothpaste.how much waste just goes on in your local surgery.
perhaps a more central role in management may save sum cash as well.instead of every local nhs authority having its own tier of senior managemeent.the other possible misuse of funds is theft by nhs staff.
a very long time ago a senior sister told me,nearly every nurse must have enough bandages etc at home to look after a battalion of soldiers.
i have in the last three years been giving eleven medicines to control my blood pressure ,most of which i discarded after serious side effects.
however our country cannot do without a system of free health care ,so three cheers to the nhs.
