Excuse me asking, but don't surgery staff need to shop for food and live wherever, quite probably with other members of their own family, some of whom also have jobs, and therefore they mix with other folk and may get exposed to the virus and pass it on? Where the hell did my husband and I get the virus from, living on a main road with a bus stop in front of our house and a public footpath running down the side and rear of it, when we haven't been in a shop since about September when I had to go in Asda 3 times to get new glasses and other than that we've only been out for medical appointments.
Not everybody has access to online systems - neither of us do at the moment despite being some of the first people in our network to own a computer and later get the internet at home as soon as it rolled out in our neck of the woods - because somebody has imposed a brand new computer system on our GP surgery and they weren't allowed to have any input whatsoever into 'when' - according to the Doc I've known for over 20 years and is now designated Head of Practice. They only have c, 13,000 patients registered and are involved in their Primary Network hub to give CV19 jabs which opened this week, so not like they're busy or anything like that at the moment, then.
Pete asked them yesterday if any news 'when' and there wasn't - so he ordered his prescription over the phone again - and that's what we all have to do because of the new system. Which of course, has added work cos someone has to write it all down to pass it to one of the GPs to authorise and pass it to the pharmacy - it's utterly bonkers for everyone, them and their patients.
