Can anyone recommend a chemist?
Where you can go and pick up a prescription without either waiting an hour, them losing your tablets or giving you the wrong tablets?

The one at Falkland surgery should be closed.
It is poor if not bordering on dangerous.

Has anyone else had the misfortune of using this **** hole?

Odd isn't it? Our railway system is a complete shambles, local government close to collapse, schools that are dysfunctional, retailers unable to sell enough to keep even a village shop open, etc, etc, etc, yet we expect perfection from the NHS!

If you think about it, most of the woes we rail against are simply down to poor and ineffective management, ironically the only sector in today's society, who are well, indeed over rewarded.

And we think we can survive on our own with this? Our biggest national threat has to be British management!

Sorry I do not follow the logic ? I agree that our managerial skills leave a little to be desired but once we are weaned from the cosy little club that is the EU we will have to sharpen up or go under . Shops are not closing through poor running more because of the red tape, rates and assorted hurdles that retailers need to negotiate before the first customer even ventures through the door . The NHS will willing pay an employee £100,000 / annum to instigate savings of half that figure . If we want an efficiently run Country firstly we need to employ Ministers who know what they are doing as opposed to career politicians as is the present policy . Once that is in place the leadership directive will filter down .
This may also result in the demise of the "fat cat" element .

And that's just the issue; we still pay totally unjustified rewards (I won't say wages) to these allegedly 'top people'. Retail is in fact a classic example 'Sir' Philip Green for instance? Greed closed his shops. The classic response to this is that we have to pay such rates or they'd clear off to the States. I suggest we now wish that rather too many of them had done just that. Fred Goodwin and his ilk. They've turned operational management into tick box lists and not very bright tick boxes at that. We no longer even have the safety net of a trained and experienced middle management. The NVQ supervisors now reign supreme. If our best chance is to appoint Ministers who know what they are doing, so it will trickle down, we really are in trouble, that's not even on the horizon.

Frankly, I think it's a deliberate policy, our chances of survival for the mass population rely on our continuing to be a semi skilled low wage economy; with public services to match. An NHS reverting to the pre war, totally insurance based panel doctor type arrangement. With our our present management can you really see us as being able to sell trains to Japan?
