   What is this Dr Chand on about. "The end of family medicine as we know it." That went west years ago, Cant remeber the last time I saw "my" Gp just one of the many at the "GP led health centre" that I go too and I've no complaints. Got what I want when I wanted it. Dr Chand would have me wait days to see him. No Thanks.
