But so many of the public want 'the crap'..... they want extended GP hours they want antibiotics they want to go to A&E for a cut finger they want a pill to solve life's problem AND we want good quality care when we and our loved ones are really ill and in need of care.
That's a lot of variables! The only one which might remotely interfere with the patient's autonomy for me though would be austerity. I accept that finances have to have limits and that some treatments may be unaffordable/poor value. Heartbreaking though that is.

The CCGs are making those decisions on a daily basis: - who to fund, who not to fund? Who do we want to make those decisions? The government, local politicians, the CCG board, the ICS leaders?

I'd love to pretend to know something about that, but I'm afraid I don't Bill. It's not an area I've had time to research. Doesn't sound like an ideal scenario, but not sure of the right alternative. Something that includes patients/clinicians ideally.

Hey, we cant expect you to know everything. It is amazing what you do comment on. The trouble is it is at the heart of what we are talking about. In reality they are not just decision on who gets treatment but also about the quality of care we receive.

Haha! Guess I'm not shy in poking my nose in, am I?! Fair enough. This one's beyond my understanding at this stage I'm afraid, but interesting to hear that. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Finally, something I DO know something about without having to research it first. :)

You know a lot
@C7RKY But always focus on what you don't know or what you believe you know for certain. You got lot to contribute because you are honest and speak your mind. I respect -
Thank you. Turns out I didn't know much. I've had a lot of ignorance to try and overcome. I'm trying to catch up...
