Where is the care?

It is not long since the Health Secretary advised us to only attend A&E if it were life-threatening, and if we had broken bones to attend the minor injuries unit. Now Humza Yousaf has urged us not to attend GP practices and to seek alternatives where possible. I know some people waste doctors’ time but it is up to GPs to deal with individuals using the service inappropriately. How long will it be before we get told that we should avoid activities that might cause us to get ill or injured? Accidents happen and people get ill. We need a health service that can look after us.
