My 20-something son had an small emergency op at the local hospital and was told to arrange to have the dressing changed at the nearest GP surgery. He’s lived here for 4 1/2 years but never needed NHS care so didn’t get round to registering locally. Between he an I, we had 9 conversations with NHS staff at 4 locations; firstly the local GP’s then the nearest A&E and two hospitals) all of which denied that it was their responsibility to do the (5 minute) job.
Fortunately the 9th person saw fit to mention he could have temporary registration at the GP and get the job done that way.
So, the moral of the story is, if you are down in Cornwall on holiday do remember to injure yourself on the first day because it will take 13 more days before you will find out what the f**k you can do about it.
If anything.
