One Medicare NHS GP Surgery Patient Experience at Broad Lane, Sheffield / Local / Sheffield
By: N_Walayat
One Medicare (owned by One Medical) with much fanfare and glossy leaflet drops opened Sheffield's GP Polyclinic or Super Surgery in April 2009 that offered 7 days per week access from 8am to 8pm, situated near the centre of Sheffield, located on the corner of Rockingham Street and Broad Lane. The centre allows any person to walk in off the street and see a GP or nurse without a prior appointment (allow approx 2hr waiting time) and those choosing to register with the surgery receiving full NHS services, thus offering the potential for those stuck in Sheffield's worst ranking GP Surgeries to register with a better resourced GP surgery.

Sheffield NHS GP Post Code Lottery Map, The Best and Worst Ranked Surgeries / Local / Sheffield
By: N_Walayat
Britain's post code lottery in health services manifests itself in the failure of GP's and PCT's to equally prescribe life saving and prolonging medicines and treatments regardless of where patients live. The greatest disparity in health care provision observed is that of between affluent and deprived areas of the country where life expectancy can differ by as much as 14 years within just a couple of miles distance as a consequence of real GP performance against NHS propaganda of uniform delivery that this article seeks to put the spot light on for the city of Sheffield.

Sheffield NHS Spending Cuts, PCT Scrapped, Which GP's Next? / Local / Sheffield
By: N_Walayat
The new Coalition Government was apparently so impressed by the performance of the NHS Primary Care Trusts (PCT's) that as part of its cost cutting austerity plan it intends to scrap ALL PCT's in favour of GP Consortia's directly managing patient treatment commissioning (the process could take 2-3 years to implement). This means Sheffield NHS PCT who's achievements include employing 400 bureaucrats in a new multi-million pound headquarters is destined to disappear from Sheffield's health landscape.

Darnall Community Health GP Surgery Could Close On NHS Spending Cuts / Politics / Sheffield
By: N_Walayat
A number of Sheffield GP surgeries including Darnall Community Health could face the axe on anticipated deep NHS spending cuts following the next general election. The British economy is in the midst of a deep debt crisis that risks a collapse into a hyperinflationary bust. The root of the problem lies in the fact that the UK government spends £180 billion more on public spending than it earns, i.e. government revenues are £500 billion, and government expenditure is £680 billion (2009-10 est). The deficit of £180 billion at 14% of GDP is not sustainable, which requires an urgent and near immediate cut in the deficit to below 6% of GDP to prevent igniting an out of control inflationary debt spiral.
