Lucky you. That's not the case around these parts - GP cover is shockingly bad ( and the practices very poorly run ). My step daughter was ill and needed to see a doctor the other week - quickest appointment ? SIX days time. Trying to get a same day appointment to close to impossible - you have to ring at 8am and hope to be at the front of the queue - I've waited 30 minutes before now only to be told no more places try again tomorrow. They won't even let you pre-book an appointment for a couple of days time. I complained to the practice manager and his answer was 'most customers prefer it that way' - customers ?? My original surgery closed down because the practice wasn't making enough money - they weren't making a loss either. Mrs W needed a GP letter to excuse her from jury service. The court assured her that it must be provided for free by her GP - we're still arguing that with her practice. The GP service is a shambles and it's because of the greed of GPs - not too many immigrants.

Contact the local NHS office, and try to change practice.
To say doctors are greedy is very disingenuous. A few years ago one of the GPs at my practice, stood in front of a train at Southease station, because of the pressures on him.


There are also drop in centres. The one at Brighton station is good. I was taken ill at the Amex but refused to let my husband take me to St John Ambulance as I didn't want to go to A&E.
We got to Brighton station, & the doctor there was very good, emailing my surgery with his thoughts, which led to a raft of tests etc
and a final diagnosis of my auto immune disease.

i'm quite a fan of the drop in centres having used them a few times. each time because i couldn't fit my illness around the local GP surgery's admission policy. they arent really fit for purpose if you aren't elderly or child (who to be fair they'll see at a moments notice).

Absolute tosh. 50,000 pregnant women who can't speak English in one city?
As I sai I've lived up north & in a Muslim area. Four houses in my road belonged to one family. The grandfather was a doctor, but retired. One of the sons was a taxi driver, etc. All the women could speak English. Maybe when the first families came over in the 50s there were women who only spoke Urdu, or Hindu. Nowadays they are bilingual.
I don't live in a bubble, and have lived elsewhere, which you choose to ignore so you can have your fantasy rant.
I've produced independent sources for my argument not random figures out of thin air.

Perhaps the spittle has obscured your screen.I said of child-bearing age.The ones who aren't pregnant clog up even more of the system.As for your comment about them being bi-lingual,some of them were speaking pashto as well as urdu,but no english.You really haven't a clue,despite claiming to live in a moslem area alongside a family who owned four houses:facepalm:And one was a taxi driver etc.,imagine that.At mosque o'clock in Birmingham,you cannot get a taxi!Perhaps you should try to speak to one of these women next time you are in the area.You might get a shock if her husband is about.Or perhaps you could pay a visit during our upcoming local elections to see these bi-lingual women clutching a picture of which party to make a mark next to because they cannot read.It will be Labour this time,as their own party is still forming.

Sexist as well as racist. 50,000 child bearing age, so every woman is supposed to have children?
Btw the latest birth figures in Birmingham are 17,500 per annum which includes all backgrounds.

Yep, and the Tories have told you it's immigrants fault. It's not. It's the Tories fault. Theresa "The Razor" May strikes again and you have fallen for their diversion tactics hook, line and sinker.

I think the main problem you are experiencing is that Birmingham is an underfunded shitehole.

It's both the Tories and Labour's fault. The Tories due to under investment and Labour's for running up huge PFI bills that now have to be serviced from money that would be better spent on care.

So it's NOT the immigrant's fault? Jiminny Cricket! It's all so confusing. If you fall for the lies.

OOOOOHHH.Sexist and racist,you missed fascist,racist,xenophobic,are you rushing out somewhere?17,500 is a guess on the Gov.Birmingham site.Just doesn't ring true if you add up the figures for births from the various health trusts.Our local trust recorded over 10,000 births last year.As for the sexism and racism,you obviously have little or no idea how much of a misogynist the average asian male is.The only difference the way their women are treated here to Saudi,is they can drive here.Try to look outside your bubble sometimes,you might learn something.

I am very aware of the mysogyny of the some Asians. Not all Asians are the same,you know. Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Bangladeshi, etc

My bubble is huge and very varied.

Unfortunately,the majority in Birmingham are Sunni moslems,and very fundamentalist Wahaabi.We do have some nice Ahmaadi and Shi'a as well though-just not enough.May your bubble live long and prosper punk:
