can’t even see a gp if you’ve got cancer symptoms how’s this gonna work?
I think we can safely ignore anything this zombie gov pumps out at the moment, the future is not looking any better than such ridiculous proposals however
GP’s: “Thank god! We’ve had so little to do recently a bit of extra work would be really appreciated! Since Brexit solved the NHS’ problems we’ve been twiddling our thumbs for years!”
Not a GP’s job.
This is more a local authority thing.
You honestly couldn’t make it up, you’d be laughed out of the room
most of the nation is going to need help, and this is the plan??? Seriously WTF?
This is just a way of the treasury insulating themselves from having to make an actual decisions; passing the buck to gp’s is honestly demented.
What nonsense. You can’t even see a GP for health reasons anymore. This will not work. What a stupid idea, really is this the best they can come up with. Proof they don’t live in the real world.
This is a completely brain dead idea, so now already overwhelmed GP practices across the UK will have to go through the admin of prescribing money of energy bills.
This policy will literally kill people, what the every living fuck are they thinking?
​
Oh that’s right, they’ll be able to turn around and say that the NHS is broken in it’s current format and privatise GP practices and make bank.

Meanwhile our dear leader is on fucking gardening leave.
After suffering with painful joints (I suspected tennis elbow) I called the GP, took 22 days to get an appointment for a Monday morning, over that weekend it finally started to feel better, bearing in mind I’d had it for six weeks by this point with no change. The Dr asked why I hadn’t cancelled the appointment, I laughed, how do I get through at 8am on a Monday morning to cancel an appointment for 08:20? Turns out it was Tennis elbow and after 4 months I’m still in discomfort. Will call for another appointment tomorrow to get a discount on my heating then, should be able to see me by next June.
Is it still subject to the prescription charge?
Fantastic idea.
There aren’t enough GPs, the ones that are left are horrifically overstretched but yeah sure, let’s start booking appointments for people who are struggling with their bills. Maybe we could start offering appointments for people who need to compare car insurance renewal quotes or want to apply for mortgages too.
Is it trial-balloon Sunday again?
GP: I prescribe you £8 pounds off your next evergy bill. Go collect your prescriptions from the pharmacy, it’ll be £9.35 for that £8 of credit.
If anything wouldn’t it be more appropriate for jon centres? They can see someone is unemployed and give support. Although they’re already hell-holes.
Thats something a local council should be doing.
I’m convinced someone in the government leaks these kind of stories to see what the population would allow them to get away with next. It’s clear they don’t want to offer any support, that was obvious with Rishi’s paltry £400 gesture earlier in the year, which reminded me of the Chris Rock joke about minimum wage, “if they could pay you less they would”.
Lol this definitely has to be a joke.
If it isn’t, I’m making a ready proforma. Patients can contact online and we’ll just accept everyone.
Anyone who asks if getting the full amount off. I don’t need to speak to them, fucking waste of my time, and tbf I work in a super deprived area so if government is allowing me take money of poeples bills…..hellssss yeaaahhh, money off for everyone
gp: heres £300 off energy bills for 3 months
uc: we are sanctioning you for £400 for benefit support we say you dont deserve.
And if you have a medical issue, you call your energy supplier customer support.
I think what frustrates me the most is that someone floated this as a genuine idea. Why are people so who are so utterly clueless about reality allowed anywhere near government policy.

Aren’t gp’s busy enough already? Surely there’s a better way. Jeez
