IT was hard to read the report on extended hours at the doctors in Warrington without raising a smile.

Given the lack of access we have currently, where will the staff come to offer evening and weekend appointments?

It is impossible to get to the out of hours without waiting hours and hours.

While getting an appointment during the day on the day you call is nigh on impossible.

So how will they suddenly enable you to get access around the clock?

It would be great if it did work out and call me cynical but I just can’t see it.

The NHS is a great institution but it is not capable of surviving with the great demands it faces at the moment.
