Today, I had occasion to call NHS 24, a new experience for me. I’d no idea what to expect. I suppose it’s fair to say that I was a bit cynical about the idea of a health call centre. Not any more. The problem was dealt with very quickly and an appointment was made for us at our nearest out-patient centre, within 90 minutes. I’ve sat in our local surgery for almost as long as that waiting to be seen. We got there on time, and were diagnosed and treated within 15 minutes. It’s good to know the system works.
