Note my comment about "I'd prefer it if the NHS was resourced to a level"....

The issue with not getting GP appointments quickly seems to have been a relatively recent thing - due to lack of resources and mismanagement rather than fundamental problems with the approach.

That's not entirely true. If you're actually emergent and require a same day apptmnt then they've got held appointments for you. However this has led to an extremely strange system where often GP receptionists are essentially gatekeeping services (as a pre requisite to accessing the GPs who gatekeep the other services...)

You know what a great system for allocating resources in an incredibly complex system is?

Prices.
