not for everyone, 123; my GP retired and rather than replace her everyone on her list just got farmed out to other surgeries around town. I can seldom get seen in less than a week, except for emergencies (which=dying), even when in too much pain to sleep.
On the other hand, the last biopsy in our house was done immediately, result in a week (in the clear, fortunately). If I had to wait as long as you I'd be swearing. The NHS has clearly improved for some, but not for all. As for dentists...
Oh, Muslims. Well, it's all electronic these days so it's very hard to say which money came from a rogan josh and which from mushy peas, so it would be difficult to legislate on this.
