just been reading the free sheet(we always get it later than everyone else),never mind i enjoyed the pics of the coronation.
it would seem that our councillors have gone for the proposed community hospital in the centre of dover.
good stuff, in my view.
our fuhrer(paul w) has always been a pragmatist and rightly pointed out the benefits of ease of access for the majority,
closeness to pharmacies etc.

Surprised there's no further comments on this, considering the March the other week-end.

seems the issue is not flavour of the month anymore.
strange really, only 2 days ago my little friend had a fall in my garden, was clearly in pain so her parents took her to the nearest available A & E - canterbury.
turned out to be a minor fracture, plaster of paris involved.
ok for the parents, they had their own reliable transport, what about those without on a low income?
work out the cab fares on a sunday to canterbury and back.

Howard,
Minor injuries is open from 8.0am - 8.0pm seven days per week. If the little girl had her accident between those times Buckland would have been able to deal with it.

dave
does minor injuries include x rays?
i did think of buckie at the time but as the mum was rather distraught at the time, i thought it best to say nothing.

Yes Howard between 9.0am - 6.0pm Monday to Saturday and 10.0am - 6.0pm Sunday if its considered to be a minor fracture amd outside of those hours the Nurse Practitioner will send you home and ask you to attend the following day.

thanks for that dave.
i will note that down and be ready for the next accident.
i suppose the next stage is the head stuck in a saucepan, as per the old cartoons.
