  unfortunately something along those lines is likely to happen in the future, my guess is that there will be a charge for each g.p visit rather than a monthly thing.

  Exactly Terry any extra charge would be completely wrong but much as I dislike the idea I tend to agree with Howard.

  the only night i have ever spent in hospital was at the k and c about 3 years back.
  
  emergency blood transfusion and i hadn't had a chance to eat so asked the nurse if any food was available, she went away and came back with a tuna sandwich(2 days after best before) and a bag of of smokey bacon crisps.
  
  as she disappeared i called out in my poshest voice "would you tell the wine waiter i am ready to order please"?

  Got to agree with Keith........AGAIN?! I think that paying for food in hospital would be something most patients would not object to as, after all, if they were at home this would be a cost to them. So means testing would not come into the equation, Brian
  
  As for the quality of 'hospital food', most of it is adequate; the main concern should be to get better and get home again!
  
  There you go Howard..........an out of date sandwich, a chance to negotiate a cheaper price, or if it gave you food poisoning longer time to peruse the wine list, (Nuffield hospitals do offer wine with meals....as part of the experience).
  
  p.s. Many patients order but very rarely imbibe!
  Do nothing and nothing happens.

  You're not joking Brian, when Buckland was a hospital it wasn't unusual for pizzas to be delivered to patients!
