Well I never!

I'm constantly amazed when consequences which were blindingly obvious at the time appear to catch everybody by surprise when they come to fruition. The latest example is GP out-of-hours care. Anybody with half a brain could see that being seen by a locum who doesn't know you and at best is just working from your notes would be an inferior service to being seen by your GP who knows your history and has seen you regularly. It has taken an unfortunate fatality to bring matters to a head but a report commissioned by the Government has finally stated the obvious. Whether anything worthwhile will come out of it is I fear another matter.
